Activision is planning to drop support for PS4 and Xbox One consoles in Call of Duty: Warzone later this year. Players will need to upgrade to a PS5 or Xbox Series S / X console to continue playing Call of Duty: Warzone once season 6 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 finishes later this year.
Call of Duty: Warzone will be removed from PS4 and Xbox One storefronts on June 4th and will no longer be available to download. Activision will then remove the in-game store in Warzone on PS4 and Xbox One on June 25th, and the game won’t be playable once Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 season 1 begins later this year.
The timing couldn’t be worse for Warzone players still holding on to older consoles, as both Microsoft and Sony have increased the prices of their consoles over the past year. Both the PS5 and Xbox Series X are $150 more than their original $499 launch prices.
Activision announced the changes to Warzone support on the same day it announced Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 for current generation consoles. Modern Warfare 4 will be available on the PS5 and Xbox Series S/X consoles, as well as Nintendo’s Switch 2. It’s the first Call of Duty title to launch on the Switch 2 following a 10-year deal Microsoft reached with Nintendo as part of its Activision Blizzard acquisition.
