Call of Duty Warzone has amassed over 6 million players in just about 24 hours after going live. The free-to-play, cross-platform battle royale title comes from the house of Activision and is an extension of its flagship AAA title-- Call of Duty Modern Warfare (2019).
However, you don't need to purchase the full game to drop into the Warzone as the latter is a standalone installation that lets you experience the world of Modern Warfare in a battle royale style.

Call of Duty Warzone: How to play
Call of Duty Warzone is set in Verdansk with two modes of play: Battle Royale and Plunder. One hundred fifty players are dropped into the city, and they fight till last squad standing. Right now, a team comprises of three players, but the developers will hopefully let you add up to 5 players soon.
The Plunder mode is a bit different from the typical Battle Royale style as players are tasked with collecting cash, and the first squad to gather more than 1 million wins the round.
Warzone is a standalone installation that you can download from the Battenet app for PC, PS4, or Xbox One. If you have previously purchased the game, the Warzone update is around 18GB - 22GB in size; otherwise is an 80GB separate installation.
