Why Is Warzone Mobile Shutting Down
Despite the initial excitement and the successful launch of Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile, Activision revealed that the game has not met expectations with mobile-first players as it has with PC and console audiences. After careful consideration, the company decided to streamline the scope of the game, ceasing the delivery of new seasonal content and gameplay updates.
Key Dates and Changes
May 18, 2025
- The Last day Warzone Mobile will be available for download on Google Play and Apple’s App Store.

- Social features across all platforms will be retired immediately.
- Real currency purchases will be disabled effective immediately.
What Will Remain Available:
- Existing players who have Warzone Mobile installed before May 19, 2025, can continue to play online with matchmaking servers operational.
- Cross-progression and shared inventories will remain functional, allowing players to use existing content and progress.
- COD Points already purchased can still be spent in the in-game store on available content.

Special Offer for Warzone Mobile Players
To ease the transition, Activision is offering a limited-time promotion from May 15, 2025, through August 15, 2025. Players who log in to Call of Duty: Mobile using the same Activision account linked to Warzone Mobile will receive COD Points redeemable in Call of Duty: Mobile. Rewards will be sent automatically and can be claimed via the Mail center in Call of Duty: Mobile.
Future Expectations
The shutdown of Warzone Mobile highlights the challenges of adapting large-scale battle royale experiences to mobile platforms while meeting the expectations of mobile-first gamers. Activision’s decision to discontinue Warzone Mobile may allow the company to focus resources on other projects and improve the mobile Call of Duty experience in different ways.
For now, players can continue to enjoy the game with existing content but should prepare for the eventual full retirement of the service.
