Call of Duty Warzone Delisted on Xbox One and PS4 June 4

Call of Duty: Warzone will be delisted on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 starting June 4, 2026, when Activision stops offering new downloads through the Microsoft Store and PlayStation Store on both consoles. The in-game store on those versions shuts on June 25, and anyone who already owns the game keeps access only until the end of Season 06 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.

The removal is one of three Xbox One delistings clustered in early June, and it lands the same week Activision confirmed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will skip last-gen hardware entirely. Taken together, the two announcements mark the moment the franchise stops splitting itself across two console generations.

Warzone’s Last-Gen Shutdown Comes in Three Stages

Activision is not flipping a single switch. The wind-down runs on a calendar, and each date removes a different layer of access for players on the older boxes.

Here is how the sequence plays out on Xbox One and PS4:

1. June 4, 2026: Warzone disappears from the storefronts. New downloads stop on the Microsoft Store for Xbox One and on the PlayStation Store for PS4, so the game can no longer be installed fresh.
2. June 25, 2026: The in-game store closes on the Xbox One and PS4 builds, ending purchases of bundles, skins, and battle passes inside those versions.
3. End of Season 06 of Black Ops 7: Players who already have Warzone in their library can keep playing until that season wraps, after which the last-gen versions go dark for good.

The official wording leaves little room for confusion. Activision said Warzone on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will be available to play through the end of Season 06 for Black Ops 7, that new downloads end June 4, and that the game can still be installed and played until then only if it is already owned in a player’s library. The current-gen versions on Xbox Series X, Series S, and PS5 are untouched.

Modern Warfare 4 Skips Last-Gen for the First Time Since 2013

The Warzone clock is the smaller half of the news. The bigger half is Modern Warfare 4 itself, which Activision confirmed will not ship on Xbox One or PS4 when it launches on October 23, 2026. Those two consoles arrived in late 2013, and Call of Duty has shipped on the line they replaced or on the consoles themselves ever since. This is the first current-gen-only mainline entry in more than a decade.

Developed by Infinity Ward, the game lands on Xbox Series X and Series S, Xbox on PC, Steam, Battle.net, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2. It is an Xbox Play Anywhere title, so a single purchase covers both Xbox console and PC. The Switch 2 version is notable on its own: it is the first time Call of Duty has appeared on a Nintendo system since Ghosts reached the Wii U in 2013.

The campaign moves to ground the series has not used before, anchored on the Korean Peninsula and its heavily fortified border, with missions also set in Paris, New York City, and Mumbai. Narrative director Jeff Negus framed the shift in the campaign reveal.

This is the latest game in the series, it’s new territory, a place that we’ve never really been before.

That quote came from Negus during the Modern Warfare 4 campaign reveal. The choice of fresh settings, paired with the decision to drop a hardware generation, points at the same goal: build for the machines players actually own now and stop sanding everything down to fit nine-year-old silicon.

Three Xbox One Delistings Land in the Same Week

Warzone is not vanishing alone. Two more titles leave the Xbox One storefront in the opening days of June, which is what turns a single delisting into a pattern worth noticing.

The trio sits at very different ends of the catalog, but the through-line is clear: none was optimized for Series X or Series S, and all three are being pulled rather than upgraded.

Both Horizon Chase Turbo and Rec Room remain playable on modern Xbox consoles through backward compatibility, so the removals close a storefront door rather than delete the games outright. For Horizon Chase Turbo there is still a loose end, since the developer suggested the original could come down while the Ayrton Senna Edition stays listed, a detail that should firm up as the date arrives.

Why the Biggest Franchises Are Cutting Last-Gen Now

The case for dropping Xbox One and PS4 is mostly about cost and ceiling. Maintaining a game across two console generations means shipping and testing two builds, and the older one caps what artists and engineers can attempt with lighting, world size, and frame rate.

Call of Duty has carried that split since Black Ops Cold War in 2020, when Activision committed to launching each year’s entry on both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Five years of that arrangement is a long time to keep the floor low, especially as the active player base on the older boxes keeps thinning.

Warzone is the most expensive version of the problem. It is a single, always-updated free-to-play game that has to run on everything at once, which makes the last-gen builds a permanent drag on every patch and every new map. Pruning them frees the team to target current hardware without a parallel low-spec version riding along.

That is why this reads as a marker rather than a quirk. When the franchise that sells more copies than any other finally pulls support, it gives every other publisher cover to do the same, and it tells the remaining Xbox One and PS4 owners that the window for new triple-A releases on their consoles is closing fast.

What Xbox Players Keep, and What the Game Pass Gap Means

For players on a Series X or Series S, almost nothing breaks. Warzone keeps running on current-gen consoles, and Modern Warfare 4 is built for that hardware from the start. The friction sits in two places: how you pay for the new game, and whether it shows up on Game Pass.

Modern Warfare 4 is not in Xbox Game Pass on day one. Activision is selling it as a standard premium release, and reporting indicates it will reach the service roughly 12 months after launch rather than at release. The pricing and access details that matter for an Xbox buyer:

• $69.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Vault Edition, with a 10% pre-order discount on the Vault Edition for players who have owned and played a premium Call of Duty since Modern Warfare in 2019, including those who played via Game Pass or PlayStation Plus and hold an active qualifying subscription.
• Online multiplayer on console requires a Game Pass subscription tier that includes online play, sold separately from the game itself.
• As a Play Anywhere title, one purchase covers Xbox console and PC, with the open beta and a Black Ops 7 and Warzone Operator skin among the pre-order extras.

So the Win Addons reader on current-gen loses no library access, but the value math changed. A franchise that many people had grown used to sampling through Game Pass now asks for full price up front, with the subscription route arriving about a year late. The console that loses the most is the Xbox One, which by early June is no longer a place to download Warzone at all.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Still Play Warzone on Xbox One After the Delisting?

Yes, if the game is already in your library. Existing owners on Xbox One and PS4 can keep playing through the end of Season 06 of Black Ops 7, after which the last-gen versions stop working. Players who do not have it installed before June 4 will not be able to add it.

Is Modern Warfare 4 on Xbox Game Pass at Launch?

No. The game is a paid premium release at launch and is not part of Game Pass on day one. Reporting indicates it is expected to reach the service roughly 12 months after release. Eligible Game Pass members who played past Call of Duty titles can still claim the 10% Vault Edition pre-order discount.

How Much Does Modern Warfare 4 Cost?

The Standard Edition is $69.99 and the Vault Edition is $99.99. Players who have owned and played a premium Call of Duty since 2019, including through Game Pass or PlayStation Plus with an active qualifying subscription, can pre-order the Vault Edition at 10% off until launch day.

The dates are fixed and the direction is set. By the time Modern Warfare 4 ships in October, the Xbox One will already have spent four months without the franchise that helped sell it.
