Warzone Mobile: everything you need to know

There’s no shortage of Call of Duty games to play, whether you’re a fan of the campaigns, co-op, competitive, or even battle royale. Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile is the next major release, and despite it being slated for a 2023 release window, Activision has released it a little early in certain parts of the world. It’s not available in all regions just yet, so you’ll likely have to wait until next year to play Warzone on the go. In the meantime, you can preregister for Warzone Mobile to stay up-to-date on everything leading up to launch.

Here’s what you need to know about Warzone Mobile, including its release date, which regions it’s available in, and how to preregister.

The worldwide release of Warzone Mobile isn’t set in stone just yet, as it’s still planned to launch in 2023. However, the game went live in Australia recently, and is available to download for free on Android devices. It’s not available on iOS or in any other regions just yet, but if you’re on Android, you can play the game right now — as long as you’re in Australia.

🇦🇺 Get ready to drop in, Australia!

We are thrilled to share that our first Limited Release is now available on the Google Play Store in Australia only with an iOS option coming soon.

If you aren’t in Australia, you can use a VPN to still play the game if you’re in other regions, but you’re likely to run into server issues. YouTuber Ednox claims you can disable your VPN before actually launching into a match to improve stability, but we haven’t tested this. Still, it might be worth trying.

Activision will likely start rolling the game out in other regions and on iOS soon. The company has yet to confirm a release schedule, but given how Warzone Mobile seemingly went live in Australia randomly, it’s possible it’ll be available in other regions shortly.

Warzone Mobile preregistration

To preregister for Warzone Mobile, visit the game’s official site, and use the QR code on the page. This will take you to the store on your mobile device, with the option to preregister. When the game goes live, you’ll receive a notification to download it.

It’s recommended to preregister since you’ll be given access to free goodies for doing so. These include different in-game cosmetics, along with the Ghost Operator.

Battlefield 6: everything we know so far
Battlefield 2042's final specialist rides a helicopter.

The genre of realistic, competitive FPS games is dominated by a few titles. Call of Duty has become synonymous with multiplayer shooters for over a decade now, but Battlefield at one point was a strong rival. Unlike CoD, we don't see a new Battlefield game on the list of upcoming video games every year, so the franchise isn't always top of mind outside of its hardcore fanbase. The last entry was a disappointment for almost everyone, so we've been waiting for the announcement of the next entry to start fresh, somewhat like Onimusha: Way of the Sword and Perfect Dark. We have only seen the tiniest glimpse at the future, but here is the full loadout on everything we know about what we're calling Battlefield 6.
Release window

We know that EA and Battlefield Studios are gearing up to bring players into various playtests for Battlefield 6 thanks to the Battlefield Labs program. That said, it was made abundantly clear that when these tests do start, the game will be in a pre-alpha state. How long a game is in pre-alpha before launch can vary, but EA at least currently expects the game within its 2026 fiscal year according to its third-quarter earnings report. That would mean the game could be released any time between April 1, 2025, and March 31, 2026.

Everything we know about the Xbox handheld

Between the Switch 2, the Steam Deck, and even the PlayStation Portal, handheld gaming is bigger than ever. Despite having some amazing games on the Xbox Series X and S, console sales this generation have been lackluster at best. Xbox has made a lot of gambles to try to stay competitive, such as Game Pass and making the biggest acquisition in gaming history with Activision Blizzard, but the question still remains how it will manage to regain its foothold in the industry after falling so far behind. One idea that has been teased many times concerns a dedicated Xbox handheld device that has many fans intrigued. Phil Spencer and the Xbox team are still playing coy with many details, but we do know a bit about what a likely Xbox handheld could be.

This is just one of many upcoming video game consoles you should be in the know about.

Acer’s mobile gaming controller is a folding Backbone alternative
The Acer Nitro Mobile Gaming Controller.

Acer unveiled the Nitro Mobile Gaming Controller at CES 2025, providing an alternative to Backbone or Razer's mobile gaming by providing something that works on both iOS and Android phones right out of the box.

It's a foldable controller people can use to play games on their phones. The Nitro Mobile Gaming Controller seems to be clearly inspired by the likes of the Backbone One and Razer Kishi V2, which provide a sturdy controller that people can plug their phones into if they want to play with a more traditional controller. It's particularly useful when playing console games on mobile through cloud gaming.
