PS4 and Xbox One Players Are Getting Booted From Call of Duty: Warzone Soon
Activision will remove the battle royale from digital stores and close its in-game shop before the older console versions become unplayable.
- Beginning June 4, Warzone will no longer be available for new downloads on PS4 and Xbox One consoles, with Activision removing the game from digital stores and shutting it down completely later this year.
- Supporting PS4 and Xbox One consoles, which are now nearly 13 years old, caused technical challenges for developers as Call of Duty transitions to PS5, Xbox Series, and Switch 2 hardware.
- On June 25, the in-game store on PS4 and Xbox One will close, halting purchases of items like Duty Points, though players who link platform accounts to Activision retain progress on new hardware.
- Modern Warfare 4's October 23 launch will skip PS4 and Xbox One, meaning Warzone becomes unplayable on those platforms after the start of Season 1.
- Rising console prices create financial barriers for players on PS4 and Xbox One who may be unable to afford an upgrade to the PS5, leaving them stranded as Warzone exits older platforms.
