In a surprising move, Activision has announced that Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile will be removed from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store on May 18, 2025. This decision comes just over a year after the mobile version of the popular battle royale game was launched in March 2024.
Activision revealed that the game did not meet expectations with mobile-first players, despite its success on PC and console. While the company expressed pride in bringing Warzone to mobile, it acknowledged that the experience did not resonate as strongly with mobile gamers as anticipated.
What Happens Next?
Although new downloads will no longer be possible after May 18, players who already have the game installed will still be able to access servers and matchmaking for online play. However, social features are being retired, and purchases of Call of Duty Points or Black Cell have been disabled.
Activision has also confirmed that future Warzone content will not be available in Warzone Mobile, meaning players will not receive updates or new features. Additionally, refunds will not be offered for purchases made within the game.
While Warzone Mobile is winding down, Activision is encouraging players to transition to Call of Duty: Mobile, offering special incentives for Warzone Mobile players who try out the alternative title.
The company has hinted that its Warzone Mobile teams are moving forward on other projects, though no details have been shared yet.
The decision to sunset Warzone Mobile marks the end of an ambitious attempt to bring the Call of Duty: Warzone experience to mobile devices. While some players may be disappointed, Activision appears to be refocusing its efforts on other mobile gaming initiatives.
For those who still want to play, make sure to download the game before May 18—because after that, it will no longer be available.
