Just over a year since its debut, Activision has decided to discontinue support for Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile, a move that includes delisting the game from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The final day to download the game is May 18, 2025, marking a significant shift for the mobile title that aimed to bring the iconic battle royale experience to smartphones.
Activision shared the news through a statement posted on X, explaining that the company plans to narrow the game’s scope moving forward. The ability to purchase in-game items like Call of Duty Points and Black Cell has been disabled immediately, and social features within the game are also being phased out.
Continued Access for Existing Players
For those who have Warzone Mobile installed before the cutoff date of May 19, 2025, the game will remain playable. Activision confirmed that servers will stay online, supporting matchmaking for online play and cross-progression with shared inventories. Players can also use any unspent Call of Duty Points on available in-game content through the store. However, no timeline was provided for how long the servers will remain active.
The company emphasized that while the game will still function for current users, no new Warzone content will be added to the mobile version. Additionally, refunds will not be offered for prior purchases of Call of Duty Points or Black Cell, according to the game’s support website.
Reflecting on Warzone Mobile’s Journey
Activision acknowledged that the decision came after evaluating multiple factors. The company expressed pride in delivering an authentic Call of Duty: Warzone experience on mobile but noted that the game fell short of expectations among mobile-first players, unlike its success on PC and console platforms. This gap in performance likely influenced the choice to scale back support.
What’s Next for the Warzone Mobile Team
While Warzone Mobile’s app store presence is coming to an end, the teams behind the game are not standing still. Activision indicated that developers are shifting focus to new projects, though no specific details were shared about what lies ahead. For now, fans of the mobile title can continue to jump into matches, but the game’s future appears limited as Activision redirects its efforts.
