Activision ends Call of Duty: Warzone support for PS4 and Xbox One

Activision has officially discontinued support for Call of Duty: Warzone on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as of November 6. The decision follows an announcement made in May, coinciding with the transition to Modern Warfare 4.

Players wishing to continue playing must upgrade to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, or PC. Activision has confirmed that progression and items purchased with COD Points can be carried over to newer hardware, provided players use the same linked Activision account. However, transferring unspent COD Points between different ecosystems, such as from PlayStation to Xbox, is not supported; balances can only move between consoles within the same brand.

The shutdown is due to the technical requirements of Warzone's integration with Modern Warfare 4. Because the new title is not compatible with previous-generation consoles, the battle royale component cannot maintain the necessary engine, map, and gameplay updates required for Season 1.
