Activision has announced that the battle royale sensation, Call of Duty: Warzone, will cease operation on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as the upcoming Modern Warfare 4 makes a leap to current-gen consoles. With its release set for October, Modern Warfare 4 will be available on PC, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and Nintendo Switch 2, leaving no room for last-gen versions. The game's Season 1 kicks off shortly after launch on October 23, integrating with Warzone content and seasonal progression. However, Warzone on PS4 and Xbox One will become inaccessible starting with Season 1. From June 4, new downloads of the battle royale game will no longer be available on these consoles, but existing players can continue playing until Season 1 launches. Some microtransactions won't be accessible either, and from June 25, the in-game store for Warzone on PS4 and Xbox One will be removed. Players can still advance through free Battle Pass tiers, including unlocking new weapons in remaining Black Ops 7 seasons. The PS4 and Xbox One, almost 13 years old now, are being left behind as Call of Duty moves exclusively to current-gen with Modern Warfare 4, a transition perhaps inevitable given the shared content between both games. This development seems to mark the end of an era, given Warzone's massive launch in early 2020, preceding the arrival of PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
