Walmart has become the first major US retailer to offer a significant discount on Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3.
Activision’s shooter, which was released on November 10, is priced at $60 (was $69.99) on PS4, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, while stocks last.
The offer is currently available exclusively for Walmart+ members, who have a three-hour head start on the retailer’s latest Black Friday online deals, from 12pm-3pm ET / 9am-12pm PT on November 22.
Shoppers without a Walmart+ subscription will be able to access the Modern Warfare 3 deal beginning at 3pm ET / 12pm PT today, and it will also be available in stores from Black Friday (November 24) itself.
