Call of Duty: Warzone Ending Support for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One Next Month
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Call of Duty: Warzone will officially end support for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players on October 23, coinciding with the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 and its first seasonal update.
The end of an era is fast approaching for millions of battle royale players. According to reporting from GameRant, Call of Duty: Warzone will officially shut down its servers on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One when Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 and its first seasonal content drop arrive on October 23. Activision has been winding down last-gen support for months, having pulled the game from the PS4 and Xbox One storefronts back in June and subsequently closing the in-game stores on those platforms.
This upcoming transition marks a major technical and structural shift for the massive live-service title. Alongside dropping older hardware, the Modern Warfare 4 integration is expected to completely reset the game's current arsenal and seasonal progression, replacing existing weapons with new gear and introducing fresh battlegrounds like the Zodiac Resurgence map. For players still holding out on last-gen hardware, the writing has been on the wall, but this hard cutoff makes the hardware upgrade imperative for anyone wanting to stay in the drop zone.
Fortunately, progression will not be entirely lost for those making the jump. Players upgrading to current-gen consoles within the same family can carry over their account progression and earned CoD Points by logging into their existing Activision account, though cross-family currency transfers remain restricted. As live-service games continue to push technical boundaries, this move highlights the inevitable friction points of hardware generations shifting forward and leaving yesterday's consoles behind.
