Activision Confirms Call of Duty Warzone Will Shut Down on Last-Gen Consoles Call of Duty Warzone is set to cease operations on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles later this year, with the game being removed from digital stores starting June 4. Activision announced the decision during a livestream, linking the shutdown to the launch of Modern Warfare 4’s first season of content, which is expected to debut shortly after the game’s release on October 23. The move marks the end of support for older-generation hardware, as Modern Warfare 4 is the first Call of Duty title to be released exclusively for current-gen consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series X|S) and PC. The shutdown will coincide with the end of Warzone’s availability on PS4 and Xbox One, with players able to continue playing the game until the release of Modern Warfare 4’s first season. During this period, in-game purchases will remain active, but the game will no longer be accessible on digital storefronts after June 4. Once Season 1 of Modern Warfare 4 launches, Warzone will no longer be playable on the older consoles, though its battle pass content and progression will be integrated into the new game’s seasonal experiences. Activision emphasized that Season 1 will “kick off a major year of content and seasonal experiences,” with Warzone’s features and progression carried over from the premium Modern Warfare 4 game. The developer, Infinity Ward, confirmed that the new title will be set in Korea, described as a “gritty” and “authentic” entry in the franchise. The game will also debut on Nintendo Switch 2 for the first time, expanding its platform reach. Modern Warfare 4 will feature the franchise’s traditional three modes: campaign, multiplayer, and DMZ.#nintendo_switch_2 #activision #call_of_duty_warzone #modern_warfare_4 #infinity_ward
