Videogame publisher Activision Blizzard missed estimates for first-quarter sales on Monday, hurt by low demand for its latest title “Call of Duty: Vanguard.”

Activision’s performance has taken a hit from lower premium sales for “Call of Duty: Vanguard” and weaker engagement in “Call of Duty: Warzone,” with a return to pre-pandemic habits pressing gamers to spend less time on their consoles.

The Santa Monica, California-based company’s sales were $1.77 billion for the quarter, a 22% decline and short of analysts’ expectations of $1.82 billion.

Net income for the quarter ended March 31 fell to $395 million, or 50 cents per share, from $619 million, or 79 cents per share, a year earlier.

Excluding items, Activision earned 64 cents per share.
