Call of Duty: Warzone will be closing down on Xbox One and PS4 at the end of the sixth season of Black Ops 7 since Modern Warfare 4 will be the first Call of Duty game to stop supporting those last-generation consoles.
The company announced the change in June and the game is still playable at this time. Although Activision has not provided an exact date for the shutdown, taking into account previous seasonal patterns, players using older consoles could keep on playing until about November 12. Purchases are linked to Activision accounts and are available on other platforms as well.
Warzone is free to play and is linked to the new Call of Duty game each year.
Why Warzone Is Ending on Xbox One and PS4
The straightforward explanation is that Warzone is being discontinued on Xbox One and PS4 since Modern Warfare 4 will not be available on those platforms.
Even though Warzone is free-to-play and does not require players to have the most recent Call of Duty game, it is linked to each year's new title. Because Modern Warfare 4 is taking the place of Black Ops 7 and is being launched on next-generation consoles, Warzone will no longer be playable on those systems.
The players from the previous generation also weren't able to try out the new Zodiac map while the Modern Warfare 4 beta was ongoing and will not have access to it.
Activision's official documentation states: "Call of Duty: Warzone on PlayStation 4Activision has not specified an exact date, but Windows Central has worked out an estimate of when it will happen on the basis of previous rollouts.
Modern Warfare 4 will be released on Friday, 23 October 2026, although the Warzone integration usually comes into action when Season 1 of the new game starts instead of at launch time.
In the cases of Black Ops 6 and Black Ops 7, Season 1 began 20 days after the games' launch.eWindows Central has expected Black Ops 7 Season 6 to start on September 17, as that is a Thursday and it is also the date when the Season 5 battle pass ends.
Because previous Black Ops 7 seasons have typically lasted for a long time, Season 6 might go on until the release of Modern Warfare 4, which would mean that players using Xbox One and PS4 could keep going until about November 12, roughly 20 days after Modern Warfare 4 is launched.

Last-Gen Warzone Access and What Happens to Purchases
For now, Warzone can only be played on Xbox One or PS4 by players who previously added it to their library. No new downloads are offered on either console, but past players can reinstall and play until the shutdown.
The in-game storThe purchases aren't vanishing because in order for players to play they need an Activision ID and so all their purchases are linked to the account; when you log in on a different platform all of it becomes available on that platform. All purchases are tied to the account. Logging in on another platform makes everything available there.
How Xbox One and PS4 Players Can Keep Playing Warzone
Players without newer hardware have limited options, but a few exist:
- Move to an Xbox. You can play Warzone through the cloud using Xbox Cloud Gaming or NVIDIA GeForce Now, the latter being available on an Xbox One.

- It should be noted that cloud gaming involves a cost, as both Xbox Cloud Gaming and GeForce Now provide no unlimited free access to Warzone, although GeForce Now does offer a limited one-hour free tier without priority access.

Warzone will continue to be available on the Xbox One and PS4 until the end of Black Ops 7 Season 6, Windows Central believes this could be as late as November 12, although Activision has not stated an exact date.
Season 6 is due to start on September 17, when the final date will then become clearer. Modern Warfare 4 will be launched on current-generation consoles and on PC on October 23, with no support for the previous generation.
