Call of Duty: Warzone retires from PS4 and Xbox One in June 2026

Call of Duty: Warzone is being chipped away on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in June 2026, and the message to last-gen holdouts is hard to miss: stay put for now, but the ecosystem is moving on without you. Activision’s support update set June 4 as the first cutoff, when new downloads on PS4 and Xbox One stop entirely. If Warzone is already in your console library, it can stay installed and playable through the end of Season 06 for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. Delete it after that point, though, and you lose the option to reinstall it on those machines.

The next hit lands on June 25, when Activision removes the in-game store from PS4 and Xbox One. Players can still queue into matches and keep grinding the Battle Pass, but the money side of Warzone on old-gen effectively shuts down. COD Points, BlackCell, and Call of Duty League Operator Packs are being pulled from the Warzone store and the applicable menus on those platforms, while the Battle Pass remains in place so free tiers can still be unlocked. That is a very specific kind of sunset: gameplay remains, but the storefront that keeps the free-to-play machine humming is gone.

The final cutoff is the one that really closes the door. Warzone on PS4 and Xbox One becomes unplayable once Modern Warfare 4 Season 1 goes live, tied to the game’s launch on October 23, 2026. Activision has already said Modern Warfare 4 is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2 only, with no PS4 or Xbox One version at all. That makes this more than a routine support trim. It is Activision drawing a bright line under the last console generation and pushing the Warzone audience toward current hardware if they want to stay inside the loop.

For a game that has long served as Call of Duty’s free-to-play on-ramp, the shift matters. Old-gen players are not being cut off all at once, but the sequence is unmistakable: first downloads, then the store, then the game itself. If you are still on PS4 or Xbox One, the safe play is simple, keep Warzone installed in your library and expect the clock to run out when Modern Warfare 4 Season 1 arrives.
