Fifty million pre-registrations. A blockbuster franchise name. And just over two years later, Activision is pulling the plug. Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile servers go offline on April 17, 2026, and if you’ve still got COD Points sitting in your account, the clock is ticking.
What Happened to Warzone Mobile?
Warzone Mobile launched on March 21, 2024, riding a wave of hype that few mobile shooters have ever matched. The pre-registration numbers were staggering, with some reports putting them as high as 80 million. But downloading a game and sticking with it are two very different things.
The game never managed to convert that initial excitement into a lasting player base. Warzone Mobile failed to even hit 20 million downloads despite those massive pre-registration numbers. Revenue told an even harsher story: the game pulled in just $1.4 million in its first four days, and by April 2025, US monthly revenue had cratered to roughly $300,000. For context, PUBG Mobile was hauling in $42 million over the same period.
Activision didn’t sugarcoat the situation. In their official service changes announcement, the company acknowledged that Warzone Mobile “unfortunately has not met our expectations with mobile-first players like it has with PC and console audiences.”
The problems were real and varied. Android players experienced poor optimization, frame drops, and freezes. The game demanded high-end hardware (iOS 17 or Android 13 minimum, plus a capable GPU), which locked out a huge chunk of the mobile market. Bot-heavy lobbies frustrated competitive players. The UI felt clunky on smaller screens. For a game trying to bring the full Warzone experience to phones, it tried to do too much and optimized too little.
Activision pulled the game from the App Store and Google Play in May 2025 and stopped all real-money purchases on May 19 of that year. The servers stayed up for players who already had it installed, but as VGC reported, the final shutdown date is now locked in.
The Shutdown Timeline: Key Dates
Here’s everything that matters at a glance:
Event | Date |
Warzone Mobile launch | March 21, 2024 |
Removed from App Store & Google Play | May 2025 |
Real-money purchases disabled | May 19, 2025 |
COD Points transfer promo window | May 15 – August 15, 2025 |
Servers go offline permanently | April 17, 2026 |
That last date is the one that matters most right now. After April 17, the game is gone. No matches, no menus, no access.
What Happens to Your COD Points and Account
If you still have unspent COD Points, you can use them in the Warzone Mobile store until April 17. After that, any remaining balance disappears. Activision has confirmed there will be no refunds for previously purchased content or unused points. That’s a tough pill for anyone who loaded up their account, but it’s the reality.
Your Activision account itself is fine. If you linked Warzone Mobile to an Activision account, you’ll still be able to use that account across other Call of Duty titles, including Black Ops 6, Warzone on PC and console, and COD Mobile. Guest accounts, though, are a different story. If you played without linking to an Activision account, that progress is gone once the servers shut down.
The takeaway: link your Activision account now if you haven’t already. And spend those COD Points before April 17 rather than letting them evaporate.
Where Warzone Mobile Players Should Go Next
Activision is steering displaced players toward Call of Duty: Mobile, which makes sense. COD Mobile has been running since 2019, and offers Battle Royale, traditional Multiplayer, Zombies, and a newer extraction mode called DMZ: Recon. It’s free-to-play and, critically, it actually runs well on a wider range of devices.
There was even a transfer incentive: players who logged into COD Mobile with their Activision account between May 15 and August 15, 2025, could receive double their Warzone Mobile COD Points balance, plus bonus rewards. If you missed that window, you’re out of luck on the points transfer, but COD Mobile is still the most natural landing spot.
If you’re making the jump to COD Mobile and want to skip that early grind, you can BoostRoyal offers COD Mobile accounts that are already loaded with skins, weapons, and ranked progress.
