Activision will remove Call of Duty: Warzone from the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One storefronts on June 4, 2026, and close the game’s in‑game store on those consoles on June 25, the company said.
The publisher said Warzone will remain playable on PS4 and Xbox One only through the end of Season 06 for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, and that “Call of Duty: Warzone on PlayStation 4 and XBOX One will be available to play through the end of Season 06 for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. New downloads will no longer be available on these platforms starting June 4. However, the game can still be installed and played until the end of Season 06 if it is owned in your platform’s library.”
The removal of storefront access comes as two other titles on Xbox One—Horizon Chase Turbo and Rec Room—are expected to disappear from the Xbox Store on June 1, 2026, signaling a broader pruning of older-generation catalogues ahead of this summer’s changes.
Players on last‑gen consoles will still be able to use already purchased copies: Activision says games that are in a player’s platform library can be installed and played until the scheduled end of Season 06. But new downloads will end immediately when storefront listings drop on June 4, and the Warzone in‑game microtransaction system will be shuttered on June 25.
The practical end point for Warzone on PS4 and Xbox One is set by the launch window of the next mainline game. Modern Warfare 4 is being built as the first modern Call of Duty title released only for current‑generation consoles and PC; it will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2. Activision says that once Modern Warfare 4’s first season begins later in 2026, Warzone will no longer be playable on PS4 and Xbox One.
The weight of those dates matters to anyone still using last‑gen hardware. June 4 stops new purchases. June 25 strips away the in‑game store. And sometime after Modern Warfare 4 Season 1 launches, playability itself ends on PS4 and Xbox One. For owners who kept Warzone installed, those are concrete cutoffs; for others, the storefront removals mean the game and related content will be harder to obtain.
The move follows a wider industry shift. Activision is shifting support away from PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and toward current‑generation hardware, a change that mirrors broader platform strategies as console makers and publishers focus development on the PS5 and Xbox Series machines. Microsoft and Sony have also raised console prices over the past year, a factor companies cite when narrowing technical support for older systems.
The friction in Activision’s timeline is immediate: the company gives players a clear window to keep playing, but it answers neither precisely when Modern Warfare 4 Season 1 will begin nor how quickly publishers will follow with further removals. That gap leaves owners of last‑gen consoles with a ticking calendar and uncertain final access.
For now, the bluntest fact is simple: starting June 4, Warzone will no longer be listed for sale on PS4 and Xbox One, and by June 25 its in‑game store on those platforms will be gone — a practical “xbox down” moment for last‑gen Warzone players. The most consequential unanswered question is when Modern Warfare 4 Season 1 starts, because that date will fix the final day those consoles can run Warzone.
