When is Warzone Shutting Down on PS4 and Xbox One? All Dates, Explained
Call of Duty: Warzone will be discontinued on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, marking the end of an era for the popular battle royale game that launched in March 2020. Activision Blizzard announced in May that the shutdown would occur in 2026, with new downloads becoming unavailable on these platforms starting June 4th.
The discontinuation will unfold over several months rather than happening immediately, allowing players time to transition before complete removal. This decision represents a significant shift in Call of Duty’s platform strategy, likely reflecting the industry’s broader move toward next-generation consoles and the computational demands of modern gaming.
The phased shutdown impacts a substantial player base that has supported Warzone for over six years since its free-to-play launch. While the game will continue operating on PC and current-generation consoles, PS4 and Xbox One players—many of whom have invested considerable time and money into the title—will lose access entirely. This staggered approach appears designed to minimize disruption while managing server infrastructure costs associated with maintaining legacy platform support.
