Our take
The shutdown of Warzone on PS4 and Xbox One on November 6, 2026, marks the definitive end of the battle royale's presence on last-generation hardware. This move aligns the free-to-play title with the platform restrictions of Modern Warfare 4, which excludes legacy consoles entirely. Players on older systems lose access to the connected experience that integrates seasonal progression between the two titles.
Background
Call of Duty Warzone launched in 2020 as a free-to-play battle royale game set in the Call of Duty franchise. It quickly became one of the most popular Call of Duty experiences due to its free availability and multi-platform support during the pandemic. The original 2020 version shut down in 2023 after being replaced by Warzone 2.0, which later dropped the '2.0' branding to become simply Call of Duty Warzone.
In May 2026, alongside the announcement of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Activision announced that Warzone would no longer be playable on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One later that year. Modern Warfare 4 is bound for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X, leaving last-generation consoles behind. In June 2026, new downloads and re-installations of Warzone on PS4 and Xbox One were halted, and digital store purchases were locked down.
