Activision has confirmed that Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile will shut down on April 17, 2026, bringing an end to the mobile adaptation of its battle royale title. Servers for the game will go offline on that date, and the title will no longer be playable after support ends. Current players can continue accessing the game until the April deadline.
The closure of Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile has been unfolding for nearly a year. In May 2025, Activision announced that the game would be delisted and would no longer receive new seasonal content or updates. At the time, the company signaled that active development had effectively concluded. The April 17 server shutdown formalizes what had already become clear: the mobile version of Warzone was no longer part of Activision’s long-term roadmap.
Launched as a mobile extension of the broader Warzone ecosystem, the game aimed to bring the large-scale, free-to-play battle royale experience to smartphones. It featured familiar maps and cross-progression elements tied to the wider Call of Duty franchise. However, sustaining a live-service battle royale on mobile has proven challenging across the industry, especially as competition for player attention intensifies and development costs remain high.
Players looking for a similar experience on mobile devices still have Call of Duty: Mobile as an alternative. That title includes its own battle royale mode, offering a comparable large-map survival format with seasonal updates and ongoing support. In its statement about the Warzone Mobile shutdown, Activision emphasized that future seasonal content and updates will continue for Call of Duty: Mobile, suggesting that the company is consolidating its mobile efforts around a single, more sustainable platform.
The decision reflects a broader trend within live-service gaming. Not every spin-off or platform expansion maintains long-term traction, even when tied to a major franchise. For publishers, maintaining multiple parallel ecosystems can fragment audiences and resources. Focusing on one primary mobile title may offer clearer direction and more consistent content delivery.
For existing Warzone Mobile players, the next two months represent the final window to access their accounts and complete matches before servers go dark. After April 17, 2026, Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile will join the growing list of live-service games that have reached the end of their lifecycle.
