“ I’ve also been playing the new call of duty black ops mobile game that just came out, I downloaded it about 3 days ago.”
Call Of Duty Mobile which released October 1 racked up 100 million downloads within the first week according to Reuters.com smashing records and surpassing first shooter games like pubg mobile, and fortnite mobile by almost tallying up 4 times the number of week 1 installs for their games.

Mario kart is still making improvements to their game, as they did not release multiplayer on their day one launch, but it is coming soon to the game.
“Mario kart you can’t play with your friends yet but soon you can they haven’t released the update yet.”
However call of duty mobile released with multiplayer from the start, and students on campus are able to compete with friends in 5-on-5 matches where they can select from a variety of game modes including team deathmatch, domination, and search and destroy and more.
