Infinity Ward

Infinity Ward at a Glance

If you are browsing PlayPile to understand who made the games you play, Infinity Ward is a developer based in Woodland Hills, California that formed in 2002. They have released 21 titles on this platform and never published a game themselves, always acting as the creator. Their work spans from 2003 through 2022 with a clear focus on shooter games which make up 20 of their 21 releases. They also dabbled in two simulator games and one adventure title alongside a single tactical entry. The company targets PC users heavily with 16 titles, followed by 12 games for PlayStation 4 and 12 for Xbox One. Older consoles like the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 have fewer releases at four and six games respectively. Their ratings show a generally positive trend but with some decline in recent years. Out of ten rated games on the site, four are considered great with scores over 80 while five fall into the good range between 60 and 79. One title received a mixed rating. The highest scores belong to their early Call of Duty entries like Call of Duty (2003) at 84/100 and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007) at 86.1/100. These games established them as the original creators of the franchise. As they moved into the 2010s, output increased to ten games compared to seven in the 2000s. By the 2020s, their release pace slowed to four titles. Recent work shows a drop in average scores. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (Oct 2022) holds a score of 75.8/100 and Call of Duty: Warzone (Nov 2022) sits at 73.4/100. These numbers are lower than the classics from their first decade. The company has won over 200 Game of the Year awards according to their bio, but the data here suggests their quality is no longer as high as it was during the peak of the Modern Warfare series. They remain a major force in the shooter genre but have shifted focus toward annual sequels and free-to-play modes rather than the singular hits that defined their early career.
