Activision to shut down Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile in April 2026

Activision has announced that servers for Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile will go offline on April 17, 2026. The mobile battle royale game, a port of the popular CoD mode, will remain playable for current users until that date. This follows an earlier notice in May 2025 that the title would be delisted without new content.

Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile, the mobile adaptation of Activision's battle royale shooter, is set to end its service this spring. The company confirmed that the game's servers will shut down on April 17, 2026, marking the official end for the title launched as a portable version of the franchise's free-to-play mode.

The decision aligns with prior updates from the developers. In May 2025, Activision indicated that Warzone Mobile would be removed from app stores and cease receiving updates or new content, signaling the beginning of its wind-down phase. Despite this, players can continue accessing the game through its current installation until the server closure.

For those seeking similar experiences on mobile devices, Activision highlighted alternatives within its ecosystem. Call of Duty: Mobile, another free-to-play option, includes a battle royale mode that offers gameplay akin 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," the company stated in its announcement.

Meanwhile, the core Call of Duty: Warzone remains available at no cost on major platforms including Xbox, Battle.net, PlayStation, and Steam, ensuring the battle royale format endures beyond mobile.

This shutdown reflects ongoing adjustments in Activision's mobile gaming strategy, prioritizing sustained support for established titles like Call of Duty: Mobile amid shifting player engagement.
