Activision has announced that the servers for Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile will shut down on April 17, 2026. The decision comes after the game failed to meet expectations since its launch in March 2024. Players can still access the game until the shutdown date, but refunds for unused in-game currency will not be offered. Activision encourages fans to transition to Call of Duty: Mobile, a separate title that retains popular game modes and often receives seasonal updates. Warzone Mobile provided a battle royale experience tailored for smartphones but struggled to attract dedicated mobile gamers.

Why is Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile shutting down?

Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile is shutting down because it did not meet Activision's expectations in terms of player engagement and retention, leading to the decision to cease operations just over a year after launch.

Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile was designed to extend the Warzone experience to mobile platforms, enabling cross-progression with console and PC versions. Despite its promising launch, which included battles for up to 120 players, it could not resonate with mobile-first gamers as its predecessors did on bigger platforms, resulting in its untimely closure.
