Activision Shifts Focus: Warzone Mobile Shutdown Announced for April 2026
February 16, 2026
Warzone Mobile will remain accessible with its existing content up to the shutdown date, after which the game will be unavailable and no new content will be released.
The message extends gratitude to the Warzone Mobile community and developers for their dedication and support.
Activision says the shutdown reflects a broader shift in mobile strategy, focusing on COD Mobile rather than direct Warzone adaptations for mobile.
Development on Warzone Mobile effectively halted from May 2025, and the game was removed from app stores.
Warzone Mobile launched globally on March 21, 2024, but faced performance issues, battery drain, optimization problems, and bots that contributed to its decline.
Officially, Warzone Mobile servers will go offline on April 17, 2026, ending all play of the game.
Fans are encouraged to transition to Call of Duty: Mobile or enjoy the remaining two months with friends before services end.
PURCHASES: exclusive Warzone Mobile cosmetics won’t transfer to other CoD titles; refunds won’t be offered, while linked Activision accounts will retain progress across supported platforms until shutdown.
Activision attributes the closure to insufficient long-term traction to justify further content development, despite some ongoing interest.
Seasonal content and updates will continue for Call of Duty: Mobile, signaling a shift of focus to the mobile version’s ongoing development.
The company thanks the community and notes that feedback continues to shape the Call of Duty franchise.
Warzone Mobile was delisted from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store in May of the previous year, indicating its decline in continued support.
