Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War was never officially released in Indian retail markets. It has been available since release thanks to parallel imports and alternative marketplaces. Several retailers also told IGN India that Black Ops Cold War might just be the best-selling PS5 game in India, despite its higher price tag than other games.
“Every PS5 customer bought a copy of Cold War too,” said one store owner. “A lot of them have the game on PS4 but wanted a physical copy on PS5. We explained that it’s cheaper for them to just upgrade it online, but most of them were more than happy to just buy it again.”
Activision was impressed enough to release a statement thanking the Call of Duty community in India for the strong retail performance of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War on the PS5. The statement, which you can check out here, might indicate that Activision might refocus its efforts to maintain a strong presence in India.
