The all-time peak of 491k was due to MW2 2022 coming out in October and 1 month later Warzone 2.0 which was a separate F2P download. I don't think we're getting back to those kinds of numbers for CoD anytime soon, even if Gamepass wasn't a thing. It was just one of those "you had to be there" moments for the CoD fanbase.
Based on the numbers we're seeing, it looks like BLOPS 6 is going to a bigger launch than MW3 at the very least.
Which isn't a big surprise, MW3 was a half-baked entry just so they could have a yearly game.
Edit: Wrong number
