Activision has announced that Call of Duty: Elite has hit 10 million registered users less than one year since the service launched in beta form.

2 million of those users have signed up for a premium membership, forking out the yearly fee of $49.99, however some of these users got a free year with the Hardened Edition of Modern Warfare 3. The numbers have risen from 7 million users and 1.5 million subscribers back in January.

The publisher also revealed that Modern Warfare 3 is currently enjoying 40 million active users a month. There’s no doubting the success that MW3 has enjoyed, Activision has a stable market now that will continue to buy-in every single year. Whether they can keep going at this pace is unknown, but it’s not showing too many signs of slowing down yet.

Are you signed up to an Elite subscription? Is it worth it?
