Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile shutting down April 17

Kagi News | 2026-02-16 19:25 UTC | source

📱 Activision says Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile will shut down for good on April 17, 2026, ending the mobile battle royale less than two years after its worldwide debut 34. The servers will stay online until then, so players can keep playing what’s already there—but after April 17, the game won’t be accessible at all 3.

The closure follows the end of active support in May 2025, when Activision stopped new downloads and turned off in-game purchases 4. In an accompanying FAQ, Activision said the game “did not meet our expectations with mobile-first players like it has with PC and console audiences” 4.
