Activision is ending Call of Duty: Warzone support for PS4 and Xbox One later this year, drawing a line under the battle royale’s last-gen era at a moment when the cost of upgrading to current hardware has risen sharply for players who have held off.
The game will be removed from PS4 and Xbox One storefronts on 4 June and will no longer be available to download, with Activision removing the in-game store on both platforms on 25 June before Warzone becomes fully unplayable once Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 season 1 begins later this year.
The timing adds friction for remaining last-gen players, as both Sony and Microsoft have raised console prices over the past year, leaving the PS5 and Xbox Series X each sitting $150 above their original $499 launch prices.
Activision announced the Warzone changes on the same day it revealed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, which will launch on PS5, Xbox Series S and X, and Nintendo Switch 2, marking the first Call of Duty title to appear on a Nintendo platform following the 10-year deal Microsoft agreed with Nintendo as part of its Activision Blizzard acquisition.
What happens to last-gen players
Players on PS4 and Xbox One will need to move to a PS5 or Xbox Series S or X to continue playing Warzone once season 6 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 concludes, with Activision confirming the full cutoff is tied to the Modern Warfare 4 season 1 launch window.
The deprecation reflects a broader industry shift away from last-gen hardware, with developers increasingly unwilling to maintain split builds across console generations as the PS4 and Xbox One user base continues to shrink more than four years after their successors launched.
All of that remains subject to change in terms of exact timing, however, with Activision yet to confirm a specific date for when Modern Warfare 4 season 1 will begin and last-gen support will officially end for those already playing.
