Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II launched on Friday across PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S|X. So far, it seems like the game is doing very well on PlayStation and on PC, where the comeback on Steam already saw Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II surpassing 260K concurrent players on Valve's digital platform, according to SteamDB.

That said, GeForce users might want to avoid using the latest Game Ready driver. The game's PC developer noted that there are stability issues with the driver, leading to crashes, and recommended using an earlier driver. NVIDIA also confirmed the issue with the following statement shared with PC Gamer:
