**Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4** launched October 23, 2026, to strong critical consensus, with current Metascores of 86 on PC and 87 on PS5 from dozens of reviews, all positive so far. Critics highlight Infinity Ward’s polished campaign finale, refined multiplayer, and expanded DMZ extraction mode as a confident return to form after last year’s Black Ops 7 scored just 65. The game’s reception marks the franchise’s highest aggregate in 15 years, driven by praise for its cinematic storytelling, weapon feel, and cross-platform polish—including its debut on Switch 2. Trader sentiment reflects this momentum, though final aggregates could shift modestly as additional reviews post.
