Activision announced that it will sunset updates for Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile because it hasn’t met expectations with mobile-first players.

It’s a surprising outcome in some ways, as Call of Duty: Mobile was a spectacular success on mobile back in the day, generating more than 500 million downloads. It was developed by Tencent’s mobile game division, TiMi Studio Group. That game is still going.

But Warzone Mobile was Activision’s own in-house project to make a game based on the PC/console game, Call of Duty: Warzone, which was launched in 2020 as a battle royale game. Warzone has been very successful on the console/PC, and it recently relaunched its original Verdansk map to bring back more players.

But Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile, the mobile battle royale game, will no longer be available for download after Sunday, May 18, 2025, from the Google Play store and Apple App Store. Players can still play but new players will not be joining and Activision will not be making new seasonal content anymore.

“While we’re proud of the accomplishment in bringing Call of Duty: Warzone to mobile in an authentic way, it unfortunately has not met our expectations with mobile-first players like it has with PC and console audiences,” Activision said.

Here’s the statement below:

We deeply appreciate your dedication and passion for Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile. Going forward, we will be streamlining the scope of the game. This decision was made after careful consideration of various factors and while we’re proud of the accomplishment in bringing Call of Duty: Warzone to mobile in an authentic way, it unfortunately has not met our expectations with mobile-first players like it has with PC and console audiences.

As a result, we will no longer be delivering new seasonal content and gameplay updates to the mobile version. Effective immediately, players will no longer be able to purchase Call of Duty Points or Black Cell using real currency in Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile. Sunday, May 18, 2025 will be the last day the game can be downloaded from the Google Play and Apple’s App Store and social features across both mobile platforms will be retired.

Players who have the game installed before Monday, May 19, 2025 will still have access to the game with continued cross-progression of shared inventories using existing content, and servers with matchmaking for online play. Any unspent COD Points can also be redeemed in-game toward available content in the Store.

We know that this news may be disappointing, and we truly appreciate the support, passion, feedback, and dedication from our community. We have special incentives for Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile players in Call of Duty: Mobile and encourage our players to try it for free.
