Overview
- A fan handed Navarrette a sealed 2009 copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 during Activision’s Call of Duty presence at Fanatics Fest, and video of her excited reaction was posted by the festival and went viral.
- Navarrette identified the disc as an early 2009 edition and said she will keep the collectible at home rather than sell it.
- The sealed copy is a sought‑after collector’s item that has been cited in coverage as selling for roughly $1,000, which helped fuel attention to the moment.
- Activision chief marketing officer Tyler Bahl said the company invited Navarrette because she is a longtime Call of Duty fan who streamed the game before becoming an actress.
- The exchange highlighted Navarrette’s crossover from streaming to mainstream acting after the box‑office hit Obsession and illustrated Activision’s use of celebrity guests to connect the franchise with broader fan and pop‑culture audiences.
