Activision has confirmed that Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile will shut down its servers on April 17, 2026, marking the end of the mobile battle royale game. Existing players can continue accessing and playing the title until that date, but no further support will follow.
For those eager to keep enjoying Call of Duty's action on mobile devices, Call of Duty: Mobile is an alternative. It includes its own battle royale mode, offering a comparable experience to Warzone. “Player passion and feedback continue to shape the future of the Call of Duty franchise, and we look forward to delivering meaningful seasonal content and updates to Call of Duty: Mobile,” Activision stated in the announcement.
Meanwhile, the core Call of Duty: Warzone remains free-to-play across Xbox, Battle.net, PlayStation, and Steam platforms, ensuring that fans of the franchise can engage in large-scale battles without interruption. Activision's move is aimed at refocusing resources on more viable entries in the franchise.
The closure has been anticipated for about a year. In May 2025, Activision announced that Warzone Mobile would be delisted from app stores and cease receiving new seasonal content or updates, shifting it into maintenance mode with no future development roadmap.
Launched as a mobile version of the franchise's hugely popular battle royale mode, Warzone Mobile sought to deliver expansive maps and gunplay mirroring the console and PC experience. However, despite Activision's big plans, the game faced significant hurdles, including performance glitches, hardware demands, and rivalry in the crowded mobile shooter genre. These reasons are believed to be behind its limited success and Activision's decision to pull the plug on the mobile adaptation.
