Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 opened to an unusually strong reception on Steam. Campaign early access went live for pre-order customers on October 16, and at the time of writing, 1,630 of the game's 1,812 Steam user reviews were positive, a "Very Positive" score of 90%.S1
Insider Gaming first flagged the trend when the game had roughly 900 reviews and a SteamDB rating of 81.15%, which already made it the best-received Call of Duty title on Steam since 2015's Black Ops III.S1 The review count has since more than doubled, and the SteamDB positive share had climbed to 85.78% at the time of writing.S1
The source notes these reviews come from players who pre-ordered to play the campaign a week early, likely the most enthusiastic part of the audience. By comparison, SteamDB rates Black Ops 7 at 38.71%, Black Ops 6 at 45.75%, Modern Warfare III at 48.19%, and Modern Warfare II at 47.10%; Black Ops III leads modern entries at 84.36%.S1 Multiplayer and DMZ arrive with the full launch on October 23, and the source adds that TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot are mandatory on PC.S1

XAIPART take
Technical impact
The mandatory TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot requirement raises the hardware baseline for PC deployments and may complicate installations on older or modified systems. IT teams and enthusiasts running custom firmware, Linux dual-boot setups, or older motherboards should verify platform support before the October 23 full launch.
Market impact
While this is a consumer gaming story rather than a component shortage, a well-received PC launch typically lifts demand for compatible CPUs, TPM-capable motherboards, and GPU upgrades around launch windows. Retailers and system builders can expect heightened traffic for pre-built systems that meet the Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 requirements through the holiday quarter.
Action
Buyers planning to play should enable TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot in BIOS now rather than on launch day, and confirm their firmware is current. System builders and resellers should highlight TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot compliance in product listings for the launch period to reduce support tickets.
XAIPART Forecast
XAIPART analysis: if Modern Warfare 4 sustains a SteamDB rating above Black Ops III's 84.36% within 60 days of the October 23 full launch, it will confirm the source's trajectory; if the wider multiplayer audience pulls the rating below 80% by 2026-12-31, this forecast is wrong.
Facts are as reported by the cited source. The design-in, sourcing and forward-looking statements above are XAIPART's analysis, not the source's claims. The ratings are single-source and early: they reflect pre-order campaign players only, and the source itself warns the score could change once the broader player base arrives with multiplayer on October 23.
Corrections: none at publication. This brief will be updated with a timestamp if the source corrects its report.
