Author: Marcus Stewart
Activision announced that Call of Duty: Warzone will be removed from PlayStation 4 and Xbox One storefronts on June 4, after which it can no longer be downloaded, and its in-game store will disappear on June 25, though players who already own the game can continue installing and playing it until the end of Season 6 for Black Ops 7. Purchases made with local currency (COD Points, BlackCell, etc.) will be removed from the store on June 4, and the free Battle Pass tiers will remain active for last-gen users. This follows the reveal of Modern Warfare 4, which will launch exclusively on current-gen consoles, leaving PS4 and Xbox One behind.
