- Call of Duty Warzone Mobile is winding up operations, and the game will be pulled from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store on May 18, 2025.
- Activision has confirmed that in-game microtransactions have been discontinued, and the title will no longer receive gameplay or seasonal content.
- Warzone Mobile's servers will remain active until announced otherwise.
Activision has announced that support for Call of Duty Warzone Mobile is coming to an end, barely a year after the game’s launch. This comes as a result of the Android/iOS release failing to carve out a spot in the competitive mobile market, with Activision stating the game “has not met our expectations with mobile-first players like it has with PC and Console audiences.”
While Warzone Mobile’s servers will remain active for the foreseeable future, the game will be pulled from the Google Play Store and App Store on May 18, 2025. Additionally, all seasonal content updates and gameplay patches have been halted, meaning that Activision is effectively sunsetting this misfire.
That said, players who installed the game before May 19th will “still have access to the game with continued cross-progression of shared inventories using existing content and servers with matchmaking for online play.”
Naturally, in-game microtransactions such as Call of Duty Points and the BlackCell pass have also been ceased, although unspent currencies can still be redeemed via the Store.
Considering Warzone Mobile’s vision and the promise it showed before launch, the news does come as a surprise. The game was touted as a faithful port of the original Warzone, with elements of Modern Warfare (2019) mixed in, tailored specifically for Android and iOS handheld devices.
It had several noteworthy features, chief among them being the cross-progression component that allowed Warzone console players to sync their inventories with the mobile title. In essence, this meant that players could complete challenges and level up weapons across all versions of Warzone while lounging on their couch, without needing to fire up their console or PC.
Unfortunately, a dismal launch ultimately doomed the game with Warzone Mobile’s horrid optimization added in which immediately dissuaded players. And by the looks of it, they never gave the title another spin. Players on Android faced the worst of it, and even high-end devices suffered from excessive battery drain, intense heating issues, and in a few cases, bricked mobile phones. These problems compounded to cultivate plenty of negative press for the game, and now, just shy of 14 months later, Warzone Mobile is headed for the wood chipper.
