Call of Duty players on last‑generation consoles are hitting another roadblock. After Activision revealed that the upcoming title, now identified as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, will skip PS4 and Xbox One, the publisher is also pulling Call of Duty: Warzone from those platforms.
Activision has confirmed a phased reduction of Warzone support on PS4 and Xbox One, culminating in a full termination later this year. The first phase starts on June 4, when Warzone will be removed from the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One digital stores, ending any new downloads for both systems.
Players who already own Warzone can still install and play it for a limited period. The game will remain functional on PS4 and Xbox One through the conclusion of Season 06 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.
The next major change arrives on June 25, when the in‑game store for Warzone will disappear from the legacy versions. COD Points can be redeemed in the store until that date, and gameplay will continue to count toward Battle Pass progress. Those without a paid Battle Pass can still earn free‑tier rewards, such as new weapons, during the remaining Black Ops 7 seasons.
The final shutdown coincides with the launch of Modern Warfare 4 Season 1. Once that season begins, Warzone will no longer run on PS4 or Xbox One.
Upgrading may sting for PS4 holdouts
For PlayStation users, the timing is inconvenient. Sony’s Days of Play 2026 sale is active, but the PS5 console itself isn’t discounted. The upside is that players who upgrade can still snag discounted PS5 games, accessories, and PlayStation Plus memberships while the sale runs through June 10.
Activision assures that players won’t lose their Warzone progress if they switch to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or PC using the same linked Activision account. Items purchased with COD Points will also transfer. However, unused COD Points remain tied to the same console family, so PS4 owners can use them on a PS5, and Xbox One owners can use them on an Xbox Series X|S.
Warzone gave PS4 and Xbox One users a lengthy runway after the current‑gen consoles debuted. That runway is now almost gone, and anyone who wants to keep playing Call of Duty’s battle royale after this season will need to move to newer hardware soon.
