A little more than a year after Activision launched Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile, the company announced Friday that it won’t update the game any longer because the game didn’t perform as well as the company hoped.
“[Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile] unfortunately has not met our expectations with mobile-first players like it has with PC and console audiences,” Activision posted on the game’s X, formerly Twitter, account on Friday. “As a result, we will no longer be delivering new seasonal content and gameplay updates to the mobile version.”
According to Statista, CoD: WM’s estimated monthly revenue dropped from a peak of $4 million last April to only about half a million a month from November through February. By comparison, Statista reports that Call of Duty: Mobile regularly earns more than $20 million per month, making it harder for Activision to justify upkeep costs for both games.
The company said people won’t be able to buy Call of Duty Points or Black Cell in CoD: WM any longer, and it pulled the game from Apple’s App Store and the Google Play store on Sunday. You can still redeem CoD Points for in-game content if you had any prior to the announcement.
You can also still play the game if you downloaded it before the game was removed from the mobile app stores, though social features will no longer be available. Because Activision isn’t updating the game, any existing bugs won’t be patched.
The company wrote online that the servers will remain functional for now, but it will notify players if that changes.
CoD: Mobile vs. Warzone Mobile
While Activision is winding down CoD: WM, the company pointed players to CoD: Mobile as a possible alternative.
“We have special incentives for Call of Duty: WM players in Call of Duty: Mobile and encourage our players to try it for free,” the company said in its X post.
