Warzone will drop PS4, Xbox One support later this year

The publisher announced that Call of Duty: Warzone will end support for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One later this year. Owners of those consoles will no longer receive updates, seasonal content or patches once support ends. PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC will continue to receive development updates and new seasonal releases.

The company provided a timetable of “later this year” but did not list a final cutoff date in its initial notice. Players on last‑generation hardware are expected to lose access to future content and may be removed from crossplay matchmaking pools that include current‑generation consoles and PC.

The publisher advised players to consult official channels for details about account progression, purchases and any available migration options to newer platforms. There were no blanket guarantees about refunds or transfers of in‑game purchases tied specifically to PS4 or Xbox One versions.

The company explained the change as a reallocation of development resources to current platforms to enable larger updates and performance improvements. The publisher did not publish a technical breakdown of compatibility or performance constraints that led to the decision.

Affected players should check platform storefronts and the official Call of Duty website for precise cutoff dates, save or back up any local data where possible, and review account and purchase histories on console storefronts. Players who want to keep receiving new seasons and full matchmaking access should consider upgrading to current‑generation consoles or migrating to PC.

Call of Duty: Warzone launched as a free‑to‑play battle royale in 2020 and has been updated through multiple seasons and iterations tied to the franchise’s annual releases. The franchise has supported crossplay for several years; the publisher said it will provide follow‑up communications clarifying how crossplay pools and progression will be handled after last‑gen support ends.
