Call of Duty: Warzone permanently shut down on last-gen consoles

In brief

• Call of Duty: Warzone has stopped working on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One after a phased wind-down that started in June.
• Downloads were blocked on June 4, real-money purchases were disabled that month, and the in-game store was removed on June 25.
• Progress and COD Points content can carry over to current-generation consoles, but unspent points cannot move between PlayStation and Xbox.
• The game remains available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Shutdown on PS4 and Xbox One

Activision has ended support for Call of Duty: Warzone on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, the company confirmed earlier this year, giving players several months to prepare (Call of Duty: Warzone zostało oficjalnie i na stałe wyłączone na konsolach poprzedniej generacji – Notebookcheck.pl).

How the wind-down unfolded

The process started on June 4, when the game was removed from the digital stores on both platforms, blocking new downloads and installations (Call of Duty: Warzone przestanie być dostepne dla części społeczności. Gracze mają ostatnie dni na pożegnanie – Gram.pl). Real-money purchases were disabled in the same period, and the in-game store was fully removed on June 25. Players who had already installed the game were able to keep playing until the servers were switched off.

What happens to player progress

Players moving to current-generation consoles can keep their progress and content bought with COD Points, provided the account is linked to Activision. Unspent COD Points are subject to platform restrictions: balances can be moved between consoles in the same family, but not between PlayStation and Xbox.

Warzone remains available

The shutdown applies only to last-generation hardware. Warzone stays available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, and its latest update adds new content and gameplay changes there.
