Call of Duty: Warzone is leaving PlayStation 4 and Xbox One this week. Activision's support page says the battle royale will no longer be playable on those consoles once Modern Warfare 4 Season 1 begins, which is midnight ET on Friday, November 6. For players in India that is 10:30 AM IST on Friday, November 6, so Thursday, November 5 is the last full day on last-gen hardware.

Warzone itself is not ending. It continues on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, and Season 1 folds it into Modern Warfare 4. Here is what changes and what you should do before the cutoff.

Quick summary

Last full day on PS4 and Xbox One: Thursday, November 5.
Season 1 start (and the end of last-gen Warzone): Nov 6, 10:30 AM IST (00:00 ET, 05:00 UTC).
Progress and items bought with COD Points sit on your Activision account.
Other Call of Duty games on PS4 and Xbox One stay playable.

What time does Warzone shut down on PS4 and Xbox One in India?

Activision ties the shutdown to the start of Season 1 and has not named a separate switch-off minute for the old servers, so downtime could begin slightly earlier. The table converts the announced Season 1 start time.

Region	Season 1 starts
India (IST)	Fri, Nov 6, 10:30 AM
UAE (GST)	Fri, Nov 6, 9:00 AM
UK / UTC	Fri, Nov 6, 5:00 AM
US Eastern	Fri, Nov 6, 12:00 AM
US Pacific	Thu, Nov 5, 9:00 PM

If you want one last match, treat Thursday evening IST as your safe window, and finish anything important a few hours early.

Why is Warzone leaving PS4 and Xbox One?

Modern Warfare 4 is built only for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC, and Warzone takes on its content from Season 1. Our Warzone Season 1 maps breakdown covers the new Hajin and Zodiac maps that last-gen players will miss. Activision's support page says last-gen support runs through the end of Black Ops 7 Season 6, and that season ends when MW4 Season 1 begins.

How did the shutdown happen in stages?

June 4, 2026: Warzone was removed from the PS4 and Xbox One stores, so no new downloads or reinstalls.
June 25, 2026: the in-game store closed on both consoles.
November 6, 2026: Warzone can no longer be played on PS4 or Xbox One.

What happens to your progress and COD Points?

According to Activision's FAQ as summarised by Gaming Route, progression and anything bought with COD Points belong to your Activision account and are available on any supported platform you sign in to. Unspent COD Points are tied to your platform account and only move within the same console family, so PS4 points go to PS5 and Xbox One points go to Xbox Series X|S. They do not move to PC. Most content bought with real money follows the same console-family rule.

What should PS4 and Xbox One players do now?

Check that the Activision account linked to your old console is the one you will use on the new platform.
Spend nothing more on last-gen and plan where you will play: PS5, Xbox Series X|S or PC.
If you are on PC, check the Modern Warfare 4 PC requirements first, since Warzone's integration brings a big install.
Keep playing other Call of Duty titles on PS4 and Xbox One, which are not affected.

Upgrading is a bigger decision right now, with hardware prices rising. Our deals page tracks free games and discounts, and the launch calendar shows what lands next.
