The best game like Call of Duty is Battlefield 6, followed by Titanfall 2 and Halo Infinite. The 22 others below split Call of Duty into its parts: story campaigns, Zombies-style co-op against hordes, tactical team shooters and free-to-play battle royales for the Warzone crowd, on everything from PS5 to phones.
We ranked these 25 games on how closely each one delivers what people love about Call of Duty: tight gunplay, loud set-piece campaigns, quick matches and a co-op mode to play with friends. Critical reception decides the close calls. Every entry opens with what it covers, so you can go straight to the campaigns or the zombies, and we point out third-person games, since Call of Duty is first-person. We left out the Call of Duty games themselves (see how many Call of Duty games there are). Zombies gets real space here because Modern Warfare 4 launched without it. Every entry lists the platforms it is on, checked against Steam, the console stores and the publishers’ own pages on November 8, 2026. Every PS4 game here also runs on PS5, and every Xbox One game on Xbox Series X|S, through backward compatibility.
25. Blood Strike
Platforms: iOS, Android and PC (on Steam since March 2025). Free to play.
Free-to-play mobile pick. NetEase’s shooter is the nearest thing here to Call of Duty: Mobile, a free phone game with a full battle royale plus the quicker Squad Fight and Hot Zone modes. You customize your weapons and loadouts between matches, and each of its Strikers brings an ability such as a drone or a shield wall. Its Steam page promises smooth play “even on low-end machines,” which makes it an option for an older PC as well. Those abilities pull it closer to a hero shooter than Call of Duty’s Operators ever get, which is why it sits at the bottom, but few free shooters are this easy to start on the phone in your pocket.
24. Sniper Elite: Resistance
Platforms: PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC (released January 2025).
Campaign pick, third-person. If your favorite Call of Duty campaigns are the World War II ones, Rebellion’s series covers the same war at a slower pace, here in occupied France. You stalk targets across large maps and line up long shots rather than charging through a scripted assault. Like a Call of Duty package, it comes with more than the story: the full campaign can be played in co-op, a survival mode pits up to four players against waves of enemies, and competitive battles hold up to 16.
23. Crysis Remastered
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC (remaster released in 2020; the original came out in 2007).
Campaign pick. Crytek’s single-player shooter sends a special forces soldier to a North Korean-held island, the same corner of the world as the Modern Warfare 4 campaign. Its Steam page sells it on its “sandbox world,” and that is the difference from Call of Duty’s corridors: your Nanosuit gives you cloak, armor and strength, and you decide how to take each camp. There is no multiplayer in this version, so it is purely a campaign pick, and it is one of the few big campaign shooters you can play on Switch.
22. PUBG: Battlegrounds
Platforms: PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC (released December 2017 on PC). Free to play, with a separate PUBG Mobile on phones.
Free-to-play battle royale. If Warzone is your Call of Duty, this is where its format comes from: the Steam page calls it the shooter “that started the Battle Royale craze.” You drop onto a big map, loot weapons and supplies, and stay inside a shrinking zone until one squad is left. It is slower and less forgiving than Warzone, so every firefight carries more weight. It has been free to play since January 2022.
21. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2
Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (released September 2024).
Campaign and co-op pick, third-person. This has the same three-part package as Call of Duty, with a story campaign, co-op missions and player-versus-player, in a far-future setting. Its Tyranid swarms come at you in the hundreds, so the co-op Operations scratch a similar itch to holding out in Zombies, with a chainsword for when they get close. Our Warhammer 40,000 hub covers it, including the best class to pick and playing Operations solo.
20. Killing Floor 3
Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (released July 2025).
Zombies-style co-op. Tripwire’s monsters are bioengineered zeds rather than zombies, but the loop will feel familiar to anyone who loves round-based Zombies. You fight wave after wave, earn dosh, and spend it on better weapons, with turrets and other traps in each map to turn on the horde. It supports up to six players online, more than most co-op shooters, and it can be played alone. The tone is a gory future war rather than a haunted mystery, so come for the shooting and not for hidden Easter eggs.
19. Metro Exodus
Platforms: PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC (released February 2019; PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions followed in 2021).
Campaign pick. 4A Games’ single-player shooter is for people who play Call of Duty for the story and wish it lasted longer. You flee a ruined Moscow by train and cross post-apocalyptic Russia, through large, non-linear levels with a survival side to them, so ammo and crafting matter in a way they never do in a Call of Duty campaign. It trades the blockbuster pace for atmosphere, which puts it this far down, but its firefights are tense and its story is the main event. Our Metro hub follows the series.
18. Back 4 Blood
Platforms: PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC (released October 2021).
Zombies-style co-op. From Turtle Rock, the original creators of Left 4 Dead, this is a four-player co-op campaign against the Ridden, parasite-infected people who behave like fast zombies. Its best idea is a roguelite card system: you build a deck before a run, and those cards work a little like choosing your perks in Zombies, changing how each attempt plays. You can run it solo with a bot team, or switch sides in player-versus-player and play as the Ridden.
17. Gears of War: E-Day
Platforms: Xbox Series X|S and PC (released October 2026).
Campaign, horde and multiplayer pick, third-person. The newest big campaign here, and the Coalition puts it at over 14 hours. It plays from behind cover rather than down a sight, which is why it is not higher, but it brings the full package: a campaign for up to four players online or two in split-screen, a 12-player mode called Horde Siege, and 4v4 Versus. Our Gears of War hub covers it, including how Horde Siege and Versus work and how long the campaign is.
16. Zombie Army 4: Dead War
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One and PC (released February 2020), plus Nintendo Switch (April 2022).
Zombies co-op, third-person. This is the most direct answer to Call of Duty’s Nazi Zombies, with the undead armies of a 1940s Europe to shoot through and an occult story behind them. Rebellion gives you a full campaign for one to four players and a separate Horde Mode, where your squad of up to four survives waves while the map opens up as you go. It is also the best Zombies-style pick on Switch, where every post-launch Horde map comes included.
15. World War Z: Aftermath
Platforms: PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC (released September 2021; the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions came in January 2023). The original World War Z is on Nintendo Switch.
Zombies co-op, third-person with a first-person option. Saber’s game is about sheer numbers, with four players facing swarms of hundreds of zombies that pile on top of each other to reach you. It runs as a set of story missions in cities around the world, and Horde Mode XL adds a bigger survival challenge for when those run out. Aftermath added an optional first-person mode, so you can make it feel closer to Call of Duty at the press of a button.
14. John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando
Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (released March 2026).
Zombies co-op. The newest zombie shooter on this list comes from Saber, using the same swarm technology as World War Z and Space Marine 2, with John Carpenter’s name on a deliberately silly action story. Four players take on the Sludge God and its undead horde across semi-open maps, reviving each other and sharing ammo, and the twist is the vehicles you find along the way: some carry firepower or a winch, and all of them turn zombies into roadkill. It is first-person, and it plays the whole thing for laughs.
13. The Finals
Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (released December 2023). Free to play.
Free-to-play multiplayer. Embark Studios’ first-person game show has the fast matches of Call of Duty with one thing Call of Duty cannot do: almost any building can come down, and the rubble changes the fight. Its PRIME TIME season rebuilt the destruction again and added a solo mode. If DMZ is what you came for, Embark also makes the extraction shooter ARC Raiders, third-person and paid, and our ARC Raiders hub covers that one.
12. Rainbow Six Siege
Platforms: PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC (released December 2015). Free Access edition available.
Free-to-start tactical multiplayer. This is for people whose favorite Call of Duty mode is Search and Destroy. Ubisoft’s 5v5 shooter gives each player one life a round, with Operators and their gadgets on maps where you breach walls and floors. It is a much slower game than Call of Duty, built on planning and sound. The free edition gives you Quick Match and Unranked with a selection of Operators, and the paid editions unlock the rest.
11. Counter-Strike 2
Platforms: PC only (free to play; it replaced Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in September 2023).
Free-to-play multiplayer. Search and Destroy comes straight from Counter-Strike’s bomb defusal, so this is the original of Call of Duty’s most competitive mode. You get one life a round, you buy your weapons with money you earn, and aim and map knowledge decide nearly everything. It has no killstreaks, no campaign and no zombies. Our Counter-Strike hub covers it, from every rank in order to the best settings for FPS.
10. Left 4 Dead 2
Platforms: PC (released November 2009) and Xbox 360, playable on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S through backward compatibility.
Zombies co-op. Valve’s classic is still the standard every game in this genre gets measured against. Four players fight through campaigns across the Deep South, from Savannah to New Orleans, with a Versus mode where the other team plays the special infected, and its AI Director changes the zombies and pickups from one run to the next. It is the lightest game on this list by far: its Steam page asks for a Pentium 4 and 2 GB of memory, so it is the answer for a low-end PC.
9. Battlefield V
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One and PC (released November 2018).
Campaign and multiplayer pick. For the Call of Duty: WWII crowd, this is the closest match with both halves intact. Its War Stories are short single-player campaigns following soldiers through World War II, and multiplayer runs up to 64 players, with big modes such as Grand Operations. PlayStation’s store page lists Firestorm, its battle royale mode, too. It came out years before Battlefield 6 and has a slower feel, but EA still sells it on every platform here.
8. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One and PC (released October 2017), plus Nintendo Switch (June 2018).
Campaign pick. MachineGames’ single-player shooter has what the best Call of Duty missions have, big scripted moments and guns that feel great, pushed well past what Call of Duty would dare. You play BJ Blazkowicz in a 1961 America run by the Nazis, fighting for the Resistance through a story that swings from funny to brutal. You can dual wield mismatched guns, and it runs on Switch, where few shooters of this quality do. There is no multiplayer, only that campaign.
7. Sker Ritual
Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (released April 2024).
Zombies-style co-op, the closest match. If you only want one game from this list to replace Zombies, make it this one. Wales Interactive’s Steam page calls it “old-school round-based horror horde FPS action,” and it borrows the whole formula: solo or up to four players, six maps, waves that get harder each round, optional objectives and hidden Easter eggs to hunt. Its Quiet Ones are failed experiments rather than zombies, and its “Miracle” powers and weapon super charges stand in for Call of Duty’s perks and upgraded guns. It is a smaller production than anything ranked around it, which keeps it from going higher.
6. Halo: Campaign Evolved
Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (released July 2026).
Campaign pick. This remake of the first Halo’s campaign does something Modern Warfare 4’s campaign does not: it lets you play the whole thing solo or in online co-op with up to four players, with crossplay. The original story is rebuilt with new visuals and cinematics, plus a brand-new three-mission adventure with the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson, and optional Skulls change how fights play out. It has no multiplayer. It is also the first time a mainline Halo campaign has reached PlayStation, and our Halo games in order shows where it fits.
5. Apex Legends
Platforms: PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC (released February 2019). Free to play. The original Switch version closed in August 2026.
Free-to-play battle royale. Respawn’s shooter is set in the Titanfall universe and is the best free alternative to Warzone. Up to 60 players drop in as duos or trios, each with a Legend’s abilities, and its fast movement and heavy-hitting guns make the fights feel closer to Call of Duty’s than most battle royales. It leans into hero shooter territory, but the gunfights are what keep people here. Our Apex Legends hub covers it, including how Strongholds work and the Akimbo Wingman.
4. Delta Force
Platforms: PS5 and Xbox Series X|S (August 2025), PC (December 2024), plus a separate mobile version on iOS and Android. Free to play.
Free-to-play multiplayer and campaign. Team Jade’s shooter covers almost every Call of Duty mode you could name, for nothing. Operations is an extraction mode with the same tension as DMZ, Warfare is 32v32 across land, sea and air, and Black Hawk Down is a free, campaign-sized add-on that recreates that mission. It has a modern military setting, weapon customization to match any Gunsmith, and a mobile version for Call of Duty: Mobile players. Our Delta Force hub covers the best weapons and how crossplay works.
3. Halo Infinite
Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC (released late 2021). Multiplayer is free to play; the campaign is sold separately.
Free multiplayer and a paid campaign. Halo is the other giant of console shooters, and Infinite’s free multiplayer is its most welcoming way in. Everyone starts each match with the same gear, so it rewards aim and map control over a long unlock grind, and the Forge community keeps adding new maps. Xbox’s store page describes Firefight as a cooperative wave-based survival mode, so there is something here for Zombies players, too. The paid campaign takes the Master Chief across the open world of Zeta Halo, a much freer structure than a Call of Duty story.
2. Titanfall 2
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One (released October 2016) and PC (on Steam since June 2020).
Campaign and multiplayer pick. This is the best shooter campaign on the list, from a studio founded by the heads of Infinity Ward, the team behind the original Modern Warfare. EA describes it as a single-player story about “the bond between Pilot and Titan,” and you spend it wall-running on foot or fighting inside BT-7274, through levels that keep inventing new ideas, including a mission built on jumping between two points in time. Its multiplayer takes Call of Duty’s fast respawns and adds double jumps and giant robots, and EA still sells the game with both modes on every platform listed. No other game here matches Call of Duty on both of its strengths at once.
1. Battlefield 6
Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (released October 2025). Its battle royale, REDSEC, is free to play.
Battlefield has been Call of Duty’s biggest rival for two decades, and Battlefield 6 is the only game on this list that answers every part of it at once. There is a single-player campaign following an elite squad of Marine Raiders, huge multiplayer maps from Cairo to Brooklyn with tanks and fighter jets, close-quarters modes for when you want something closer to Call of Duty’s pace, and destructible buildings that open new angles.
For the Warzone crowd, its free battle royale, REDSEC, has a ranked mode. The one thing it lacks is a Zombies mode, although Battlefield Portal lets creators build their own modes, and the game has since joined Game Pass. Our Battlefield hub covers the rest, including how to turn off crossplay and the Season 5 weapons.

Games Like Call of Duty Zombies
Sker Ritual is the closest thing to round-based Zombies you can buy, with six maps, Easter eggs and four-player co-op. Zombie Army 4: Dead War has the Nazi zombie setting and a Horde Mode, Killing Floor 3 has the earn-and-upgrade loop between waves, and Left 4 Dead 2, World War Z: Aftermath, John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando and Back 4 Blood are all four-player co-op against hordes, played as story missions rather than rounds on one map. Call of Duty still has its own Zombies in the Black Ops games, even though Modern Warfare 4 does not.
