Activision is abandoning Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile
Activision announced on the official X account of its Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile title that it would sunset updates and delist it from the Google Play store and the App Store. Activision is giving players a last chance to download the departing game, which will be removed by the end of today. According to Activision, Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile "has not met our expectations with mobile first players like it has with PC and console audiences." Considering the game's troubled launch, this discontinuation doesn't come as a surprise to its player base. Activision's mobile adaptation of its battle royale title launched in March 2024, which was two years after it was first announced. Looking at the overall timeline of Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile , fans spent more than two years waiting for its release, only to get roughly a year's worth of gameplay that had poor optimization and serious battery life demands. If you install Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile before May 19, 2025, you'll still have access to the game with "continued cross-progression of shared inventories using existing content," Activision wrote on the X post. The publisher added that servers will stay online and that it'd notify players of any changes. For diehard fans, that's not much of a guarantee that the Warzone Mobile servers will remain active in perpetuity. To incentivize existing players to migrate to its other titles, Activision said that you can log into Call of Duty: Mobile with your Activision account to claim two times amount of COD points you had in your Warzone Mobile account, along with "other awesome rewards." However, Activision added that any unused COD points and whatever you have already purchased in Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile can't be refunded.

This decision was made after careful consideration of various factors and while we're proud of the accomplishment in bringing Call of… — Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile (@WarzoneMobile) May 16, 2025 If you have uninstalled Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile and want to play it afterwards, make sure you reinstall it on your device before May 19. Also, it looks like the company has no plans to shut down the servers for online play, at least for now.

Also, Call of Duty points and Black Cell cannot be purchased using real currency. While refunds are not available for previously purchased in-game content or unused COD Points, Activision said players will still be able to spend their points to purchase content available in the in-game store. On its FAQ page, Activision said that until August 15, 2025, Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile players can login to Call of Duty: Mobile using their account. These players can get COD Points redeemable in Call of Duty: Mobile that equals two times the amount of their Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile COD Points balance, alongside some other rewards. In case you were playing Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile on a guest account, simply link or upgrade it to an Activision account using the in-game options.
