"Warzone Mobile Shuts Down: Call of Duty's End"

After just a year on the market, Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile is winding down its operations. Activision has officially announced that the mobile version of the popular battle royale game will no longer receive seasonal updates or new content. As of May 18th, the game has been removed from both the App Store and Google Play Store. Real-money transactions have been disabled, and anyone who hasn't downloaded the app by the specified date will permanently lose access.

This abrupt closure marks the end of a high-profile mobile release that sought to deliver the complete Warzone experience to mobile users. Despite the studio's pride in how closely the mobile version mirrored its PC and console counterparts, it seems the game did not resonate as strongly with the mobile gaming community.

For those who have already installed the game, online access and matchmaking will continue post-May 19th. However, social features will be turned off, and there's no set date for when the servers might shut down completely. The in-game store will still be accessible, but only for spending existing COD Points—no new purchases can be made.

As a gesture of goodwill, players with remaining COD Points can transfer them to Call of Duty: Mobile. Until August 15th, by logging into Call of Duty: Mobile with the same Activision account, you'll receive double the value of your unused Warzone Mobile COD Points, plus additional rewards.

For those who haven't installed or reinstalled the game by May 19th, this is your final chance. Post-deadline, no refunds will be available, and the game will become inaccessible. This development serves as a stark reminder that even the most prominent franchises can struggle to maintain long-term success on mobile platforms.
