Activision has officially confirmed that Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile will be taken offline permanently next month. The company shared the update through its support channels, announcing that servers for the mobile battle royale will shut down on April 17, 2026. That gives existing players a short window to jump back in before access disappears for good. The decision does not come entirely out of the blue, especially since support for the game had already slowed down significantly over the past year. Here is what we know about the shutdown and what it means for players who are still active.

Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile will officially stop working after April 17, 2026. Activision confirmed that the game will remain playable until that date, after which servers will be shut down permanently. Once the servers go offline, players will no longer be able to access matches or log in.
The writing has been on the wall for some time. Activision had already ended active support for the game back in May 2025. Since then, no new seasonal content has been released and in game purchases were disabled. The title was also removed from app stores, preventing new players from downloading it.
In an FAQ shared alongside the announcement, Activision explained that the game did not meet expectations among mobile first players, even though the franchise continues to perform strongly on PC and console. While the core Warzone experience remains popular on larger platforms, the mobile version struggled to build the same momentum.
While Call of Duty: Warzone will continue on PC and consoles, and Call of Duty: Mobile remains active, Warzone Mobile’s shutdown marks the end of an ambitious expansion plan. Activision had positioned the game as a way to unify progression across platforms and bring the full scale Warzone experience to smartphones.
At launch, the company spoke about connecting console, PC and mobile players under one ecosystem. The idea was to allow users to carry progress across devices and play wherever they wanted. However, sustaining that vision on mobile proved challenging in a highly competitive market filled with optimised, mobile first shooters.
Call of Duty: Mobile, on the other hand, continues to receive fresh updates and seasonal content, including new maps, battle passes and modes. For players who still want a portable Call of Duty experience, that title remains the primary option. For Warzone Mobile fans, April 17 will mark the final drop before the servers close for good.
