Warzone Says Goodbye to Last-Gen
PS4 & Xbox One Support Ends in Three Stages — Here’s Every Date and What Happens to Your Account
Call of Duty: Warzone has run on PS4 and Xbox One since 2020. That’s ending this year — tied directly to the arrival of Modern Warfare 4 and its Season 1.
Call of Duty: Warzone launched as a free-to-play battle royale on March 10, 2020, on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. For over six years it ran across console generations without dropping older hardware — until now. Activision confirmed on May 28, 2026 that Warzone will be wound down on PS4 and Xbox One in stages, with full shutdown tied to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 and its Season 1.
The phaseout is directly linked to Modern Warfare 4, which launches October 23, 2026, exclusively on current-generation platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. Because Warzone integrates with each new Call of Duty title, and MW4 has no last-gen version, the older platforms are being left behind. Warzone will be removed from PS4 and Xbox One storefronts on June 4, with full gameplay cut off once MW4’s Season 1 begins. MW4 will also mark the first Call of Duty title on a Nintendo console since 2013’s Ghosts on the Wii U — the result of Microsoft’s 10-year commitment to Nintendo made during the Activision Blizzard acquisition in 2022.
If you’re on PS4 or Xbox One, your progress and COD Points are not lost — as long as your platform account is linked to an Activision account. The full breakdown of what transfers, and when, is covered below.

— Activision, Official Platform Update Statement, May 28, 2026Full Warzone progression carries over to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or PC when you log in with the same linked Activision account.
Unspent COD Points move to current-gen within the same console family (PS4 → PS5 or Xbox One → Xbox Series X|S). Cross-family transfers are not supported.
Content purchased with COD Points is tied to your Activision account and available on all supported platforms using the same linked account.
Most content bought with real money is tied to platform accounts and carries over to current-gen within the same console family only.
Battle Pass purchases made with COD Points remain available. Gameplay on PS4/Xbox One still counts toward overall Battle Pass progression until June 25.
All other Call of Duty titles previously released on PS4 and Xbox One remain playable. This shutdown applies to Warzone on those platforms only.

About Modern Warfare 4: Developed by Infinity Ward, MW4 is set on the Korean Peninsula and described by Activision as “a new technical benchmark” built exclusively for current-gen consoles and PC. The Switch 2 version is being developed natively by Infinity Ward in partnership with Digital Legends. MW4’s arrival on Nintendo is the first deliverable of Microsoft’s 10-year commitment to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo platforms — an agreement announced in December 2022 as part of the Activision Blizzard acquisition process. It is also the first Call of Duty title on a Nintendo console since Call of Duty: Ghosts on the Wii U in 2013. You can read MW4’s full platform and release details here.
For players looking at what else is landing on current-gen soon, PS Plus June 2026 monthly games have been confirmed, and if you’re playing on PC or current-gen, Diablo 4’s latest patch notes are live.
Activision’s official platform update confirmed the three-stage wind-down of Warzone on PS4 and Xbox One: store delisting on June 4, in-game store closure on June 25, and full shutdown tied to Modern Warfare 4’s Season 1 following the October 23 release. The account transfer policy — including progression, COD Points, and console-family restrictions for platform-tied purchases — was detailed in the official Activision support page.
The Warzone shutdown on last-gen platforms was covered alongside the announcement of Modern Warfare 4, which does not release on PS4 or Xbox One. All other Call of Duty titles previously released on those platforms remain playable and unaffected. Further coverage on upcoming releases is available on The Game Tribune.
