1. Call of Duty: Mobile
Shooter fans, this one’s calling your name. Call of Duty: Mobile takes everything gamers love from the legendary franchise—killer gunplay, slick maps, intense modes—and drops it into a free-to-play mobile package that never feels like a compromise. We’re talking console-grade visuals, buttery-smooth frame rates (if your device can hack it), and that sweet, customizable controller support that instantly classes up your battle royale or Team Deathmatch session. North American players are all in, with over 70 million downloads in the region and regular e-sports events keeping the competitive energy high. Beyond the basics, expect a flood of new seasonal content and new modes—so there’s always something else to grind for. F2P doesn’t mean pay-to-win here; skilled play rules the day, and solo, squad, or tournament formats make this a true test of your shooter chops. If you crave classic CoD chaos, but like your victories pocket-sized, this is your first stop.
