Activision Announces Warzone Mobile Shutdown April 17, 2026; No Refunds

Activision announced that "the servers for Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile will go offline on April 17, 2026," and warned players that "Refunds are not available for previously purchased in-game content or unused COD Points." The publisher's support page frames this shutdown as "a final step in the previously communicated service changes to Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile."

Warzone Mobile launched on March 21, 2024, and was removed from distribution in May 2025; Activision's FAQ specifies that "Sunday, May 18, 2025, will be the last day the game can be downloaded from the Google Play and Apple’s App Store" and that "Players who have the game installed before Monday, May 19, 2025, will still have access to the mobile game with continued cross-progression of shared inventories using existing content, and servers with matchmaking for online play."

Effective immediately, Activision says players "will no longer be able to spend real currency in the mobile game," while clarifying that "Existing COD Point balances can continue to be spent in the in-game Store" until servers shut down. The company also confirmed that Warzone Mobile will not receive future content, stating plainly: "No, Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile will not receive new seasonal content and gameplay updates," and that "No, future content from Call of Duty: Black Ops 6/Call of Duty: Warzone will not be supported in Warzone Mobile."

The mobile port briefly returned fan-favorite Verdansk and Rebirth Island maps to the Call of Duty ecosystem, but Activision framed the closure as a business decision driven by audience response: "While we're proud of the accomplishment in bringing Call of Duty: Warzone to mobile in an authentic way, it unfortunately has not met our expectations with mobile-first players like it has with PC and console audiences." Social features are being retired as part of the wind-down, and Activision's support material carries a "Copyright 2026 Activision Publishing, Inc." line in the FAQ content.

Players with Activision accounts can preserve cross-progression and inventory access; accounts used in Warzone Mobile will remain accessible on other Activision products, including Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Call of Duty: Warzone, and Call of Duty: Mobile. The company added that servers for online play will remain available until the April 17, 2026 shutdown and that players will be notified of any interim changes.

The announcement has provoked strong backlash from the player community over the abrupt end to the game's support, and an embedded tweet fragment shared in coverage read in part, "We’re incredibly grateful to our community who dropped in and showed up for us!" Activision and coverage of the shutdown have pointed players toward Call of Duty: Mobile as the ongoing mobile option, while console and PC Warzone continue to be free to play on Xbox, Battle.net, PlayStation, and Steam.

Practical takeaways: if you installed Warzone Mobile before May 19, 2025, you can keep playing through April 17, 2026; do not expect new seasons or content; real-money purchases are disabled now but you may spend any remaining COD Points in-game before servers go dark; refunds will not be issued.
