The success of Call of Duty: Mobile has had the game to be featured consistently as one of the most popular and successful titles in coming up with a mobile version in spite of having a huge market as a PC and console game.

During times of such competition, the important thing for game publishers to remember is that the quality, designing, and content are competent enough to entice gamers into buying them.
