You only have a few weeks left to enjoy Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile before it goes dark

The game stays playable until April 17, 2026, then it goes offline for good.

Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile is nearly out of time. Activision says the servers shut down on April 17, 2026, and the game won’t be playable after that.

Until then, it’s business as usual with what’s already in the app. If Warzone Mobile is still installed on your device, you can keep jumping in, using your unlocked gear, and spending any COD Points you have left. Don’t wait.

There’s an important limit for anyone who removed it. Warzone Mobile was pulled from Google Play and the Apple App Store in May 2025, so you can’t reinstall it later just to check your loadouts, purchases, or progression.

What you can still do now

If the game is on your phone or tablet, previously purchased content keeps working right up to shutdown. You can also redeem remaining COD Points on whatever is still available in the Store while the servers are live.

Spending real money is already off the table. Activision says the last day to buy COD Points, Battle Pass or BlackCell, or other store items with real currency was May 19, 2025.

The hard part is what happens to leftover points. After the shutdown, unused COD Points won’t be accessible, and Activision says refunds aren’t available for purchased content or unspent points. If you want something, grab it while you can.

Your account after shutdown

How you logged in matters. Guest accounts won’t be accessible once the servers go offline, so players who never linked an account should plan for a clean stop.

If you used an Activision account, it will still exist outside the app. But Activision says you won’t be able to access that account through Warzone Mobile after shutdown, even though it remains available through Activision sites and other games that use it.

The easiest alternatives

Activision is steering mobile players to Call of Duty: Mobile. It’s free to play, with Battle Royale and Multiplayer, plus Zombies, and it also includes an extraction mode called DMZ: Recon.

Want the classic Warzone lane instead? Call of Duty: Warzone on PC and console is also free to play. Either way, treat April 17, 2026 as your finish line, spend any COD Points you care about, and pick your next install before you delete the app.

In a new Business Insider profile of Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick, the company boss declined to say exactly how much GTA 6 has cost. His only confirmation was that “it was expensive.” However, analysts are estimating the total bill could land somewhere between $1 billion and $1.5 billion.

NetherRealm has confirmed direction while leaving the reveal details blank. It hasn’t shared a title, launch window, platforms, roster details, or story direction. The next Mortal Kombat game is real enough to discuss, but not ready enough to show.
