Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered is now available on Steam
After over six months of waiting, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered has finally been released on Steam as a standalone game.
While many longtime fans of the original may be jumping for joy right now, let’s have a look at the game’s price, £34.99, for a remaster of a 10-year-old game that is itself over eight months old. Beyond that, the game already has a £11.59 (currently £7.76) Variety Map pack and includes microtransactions.
To put things into perspective Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare’s Variety Map Pack was released for free and the game itself had no micro transactions in the game’s multiplayer mode. This makes this new remaster seem like terrible value, releasing with a high price to then ask players for more money to access all of the game’s content.
Right now, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, the latest game in the series is available for £19.99, with the Digital Legacy Edition, which includes a copy of Modern Warfare Remastered, costing £37.19. This means that for £1.20 extra Modern Warfare Remastered purchasers can get a copy of Infinite Warfare alongside Modern Warfare Remastered, which may be worth it for you if you enjoy Call of Duty’s campaign modes.
Below are the PC system requirements for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered. To say the least, the game is very easy to run by today’s standards, even at maximum settings.
