What is SBMM in CoD?

SBMM stands for Skill-Based Matchmaking, a system used in Call of Duty and many other online multiplayer games.The system analyzes player performance and matches individuals of similar skill levels together, aiming to create balanced, competitive matches rather than random pairings.

Call of Duty has implemented SBMM across its recent titles, including Modern Warfare, Warzone, and Black Ops series. The system considers factors like kill/death ratio, win rate, and overall performance to determine where players fall on the skill spectrum, then creates lobbies with similarly skilled opponents.

Which Call of Duty Titles Implement SBMM

SBMM has technically existed in Call of Duty since the franchise began, according to developers who worked on the system. However, the intensity and implementation have changed dramatically over the years. Early titles like Call of Duty 4 through Modern Warfare 3 had minimal SBMM that prioritized connection quality, making the system barely noticeable to players.

Modern Warfare 2019 marked the turning point where SBMM became a major controversy within the Call of Duty community. However, Black Ops 7 reverses this trend by implementing Open Matchmaking as the default system, where skill is minimally considered during matchmaking. The game also reintroduces persistent lobbies, allowing players to stay together across multiple matches instead of disbanding after each game.
