Activision's mobile battle royale Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile has officially shut down its servers on April 17, 2026, marking the end of a game that failed to capture mobile audiences despite the franchise's console and PC success.
Less than two years after its global launch, Activision's mobile battle royale has gone offline for the last time. Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile officially shut down today, April 17, 2026. The servers went offline as scheduled, making the game permanently unplayable.
Activision first announced the closure in early 2025 as part of a broader wind-down of the title, citing its failure to connect with mobile-first players in the way its PC and console counterparts had.
A fast decline
Activision began pulling back on the game well before today's shutdown. Real-money purchases were disabled on May 19, 2025, and the game was removed from both the Google Play Store and Apple's App Store that same month. Players who already had it installed could continue playing, but new downloads were no longer possible through official channels.
Seasonal content and gameplay updates had already stopped before the store removals, leaving the game in a holding pattern for the better part of a year before the servers finally went down.
What happens to accounts and purchases
Guest accounts used to access Warzone Mobile are no longer accessible now that the servers are offline. Activision accounts linked to the game still exist and remain usable across other Activision titles and services.
Any unused COD Points that were not spent before today are permanently gone. Activision confirmed that no refunds will be issued for unused points or previously purchased in-game content. Players who had remaining COD Points were given notice to spend them in the in-game store before the shutdown. That window has now closed.
Where Activision wants players to go
Call of Duty: Mobile is still running. Activision is directing former Warzone Mobile players to Call of Duty: Mobile, which continues to receive regular seasonal updates. The game includes Battle Royale, Multiplayer, Zombies, and an extraction-based mode called DMZ: Recon.
The company also noted that Call of Duty: Warzone remains available free to play on PC and console.
Warzone Mobile's closure follows a pattern seen across the live-service mobile space, where high-profile launches backed by major franchises have struggled to hold audiences against more established mobile titles. The game lasted just over two years from global launch to final shutdown.
