After a brief stint in the market, Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile is being discontinued. Activision has announced that the mobile adaptation of the renowned battle royale game will no longer receive seasonal updates or new content, and has been removed from the App Store and Google Play Store as of May 18th. In-app purchases using real money have been disabled, and anyone who hasn't installed the game by the specified date will no longer be able to access it.
This decision marks an abrupt end to what was intended to be a groundbreaking mobile release, designed to deliver the complete Warzone experience to mobile users. While Activision expressed pride in the game's faithful replication of Warzone for mobile devices, it appears the game did not resonate with mobile audiences to the extent it did with PC and console players.
For those who have already installed the game, online access and matchmaking will continue post-May 19th. However, social features will be turned off, and there's currently no set date for the complete shutdown of servers. The in-game store will remain operational for existing COD Points holders, although no new purchases can be made.
As a gesture of goodwill, players with remaining COD Points can transfer them to Call of Duty: Mobile. This redemption window is open until August 15th. By logging into Call of Duty: Mobile with the same Activision account, users will receive double the value of their unused Warzone Mobile COD Points, plus additional rewards.
If you haven't yet installed or reinstalled the game by May 19th, this is your final opportunity. After this date, no refunds will be provided, and the game will become inaccessible. This closure serves as a stark reminder that even the most celebrated franchises can struggle to maintain longevity in the mobile gaming market.
