Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile is nearly out of time. Activision says the servers shut down on April 17, 2026, and the game won’t be playable after that.

Until then, it’s business as usual with what’s already in the app. If Warzone Mobile is still installed on your device, you can keep jumping in, using your unlocked gear, and spending any COD Points you have left. Don’t wait.

There’s an important limit for anyone who removed it. Warzone Mobile was pulled from Google Play and the Apple App Store in May 2025, so you can’t reinstall it later just to check your loadouts, purchases, or progression.

What you can still do now

If the game is on your phone or tablet, previously purchased content keeps working right up to shutdown. You can also redeem remaining COD Points on whatever is still available in the Store while the servers are live.

Spending real money is already off the table. Activision says the last day to buy COD Points, Battle Pass or BlackCell, or other store items with real currency was May 19, 2025.

The hard part is what happens to leftover points. After the shutdown, unused COD Points won’t be accessible, and Activision says refunds aren’t available for purchased content or unspent points. If you want something, grab it while you can.

Your account after shutdown

How you logged in matters. Guest accounts won’t be accessible once the servers go offline, so players who never linked an account should plan for a clean stop.

If you used an Activision account, it will still exist outside the app. But Activision says you won’t be able to access that account through Warzone Mobile after shutdown, even though it remains available through Activision sites and other games that use it.

The easiest alternatives

Activision is steering mobile players to Call of Duty: Mobile. It’s free to play, with Battle Royale and Multiplayer, plus Zombies, and it also includes an extraction mode called DMZ: Recon.

Want the classic Warzone lane instead? Call of Duty: Warzone on PC and console is also free to play. Either way, treat April 17, 2026 as your finish line, spend any COD Points you care about, and pick your next install before you delete the app.

Your GTA 6 ‘physical copy’ could expire before you even play it
Rockstar has confirmed that Japanese PS5 download codes won't remain valid forever.

The debate around GTA 6's "physical" edition just got another twist. Rockstar has confirmed on its official website that PS5 download codes included with physical copies of Grand Theft Auto VI sold in Japan will expire 170 days after the game's November 19, 2026 launch date. That means players who don't redeem the code before roughly May 8, 2027 could be left with nothing more than an empty game box, even though they purchased a physical copy. The company says the policy is required due to regional regulations in Japan.

Why only Japan?

Fresh off launching a metallic Hall-effect keyboard and a 59g gaming mouse for flashy esports setups, Lenovo has turned its attention to gamers working with much tighter budgets. The Legion 24-1r looks made for broke college students who spent way too much on their first gaming rig and now have instant noodles doing most of the heavy lifting at dinner. It costs just 669 yuan, equivalent to around $99, yet offers a 23.8-inch IPS panel running at up to 280Hz.

Lenovo is also offering the 27-inch Legion 27-1r with the same core specifications for 789 yuan, or roughly $116. For the ramen-budget crowd chasing competitive frame rates, both look like seriously tempting deals. (via NotebookCheck)
