Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 review

Modern Warfare 4 is the newest game on the list, released on Steam on October 22, 2026, and it replaces Black Ops 6 as the current Call of Duty to buy. Activision's page sets the campaign during a North Korean invasion, with a young South Korean soldier on the front line and Captain Price working off the books, and missions that move from Korean trenches to New York, Paris and Mumbai. Multiplayer focuses on fluid movement and brings back large maps with vehicles, and DMZ is an extraction mode where you deploy solo or with a squad, loot, fight and get out. Steam lists online co-op, cross-platform play and full controller support, and Steam's data shows a Metascore of 85. It drops below Doom on value: it costs $69.99, needs 115 GB of storage, and early English Steam reviews sit at 70% positive.
