The Warzone PS4 and Xbox One shutdown arrives this week. Activision’s support page says the battle royale “will no longer be available to play on PlayStation 4 and XBOX One” from Modern Warfare 4 Season 1, and Season 1 goes live at midnight ET on November 6 (9 PM PT on November 5, 05:00 UTC). That makes Thursday, November 5, the last evening to play Warzone on last-gen consoles in the Americas.
Your progress isn’t lost. Activision says unlocks and anything bought with COD Points carry over to PS5, Xbox Series X|S or PC, as long as you sign in with the same Activision account.

Warzone PS4 and Xbox One shutdown time in every region
Activision links the shutdown to the start of Season 1 but hasn’t named a separate switch-off minute for the old servers. The Season 1 start time comes from the official Season 1 blog. US daylight saving time ended on November 1, so ET is now UTC-5.
| Region | Season 1 starts (Warzone ends on PS4/Xbox One) |
|---|---|
| US Pacific (PT) | Thursday, Nov 5, 9:00 PM |
| US Mountain (MT) | Thursday, Nov 5, 10:00 PM |
| US Central (CT) | Thursday, Nov 5, 11:00 PM |
| US Eastern (ET) | Friday, Nov 6, 12:00 AM |
| Brazil (BRT) | Friday, Nov 6, 2:00 AM |
| UK (GMT) / UTC | Friday, Nov 6, 5:00 AM |
| Central Europe (CET) | Friday, Nov 6, 6:00 AM |
| UAE (GST) | Friday, Nov 6, 9:00 AM |
| India (IST) | Friday, Nov 6, 10:30 AM |
| Japan (JST) | Friday, Nov 6, 2:00 PM |
| Australia East (AEDT) | Friday, Nov 6, 4:00 PM |
Insider Gaming also reports November 6 as the shutdown day, with November 5 as the final full day of play. Expect the last-gen servers to go offline around the Season 1 update rather than at a minute Activision has announced.
Why Warzone is 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. Activision announced the wind-down on May 28, together with the Modern Warfare 4 reveal. Its support page says last-gen support runs “through the end of Season 06 for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7”, and that season ends when MW4 Season 1 begins. Our MW4 Season 1 guide covers the new maps, weapons and DMZ content arriving in that update.
The shutdown happened in stages:
- June 4: Warzone was removed from the PS4 and Xbox One stores. New downloads stopped, and content bought with real money (COD Points, BlackCell, CDL operator packs) left the in-game store.
- June 25: the in-game store closed on both consoles, which was also the last day to spend COD Points there.
- Season 1 (Nov 6, 05:00 UTC): Warzone can no longer be played on PS4 or Xbox One.

What happens to your progress and COD Points
According to Activision’s FAQ:
- Progression and anything bought with COD Points belong to your Activision account. They’re available on any supported platform when you sign in with the same linked account.
- Unspent COD Points are tied to your platform account. They move only within the same console family: PS4 points to PS5, Xbox One points to Xbox Series X|S. They don’t move to PC.
- Most content bought with real money follows the same console-family rule.
- Other Call of Duty games released on PS4 and Xbox One stay playable. The shutdown applies only to Warzone.
If you’re moving to a new console, check before Thursday that the Activision account linked to your PS4 or Xbox One is the one you’ll sign in with on the new machine. Our MW4 carry-forward explainer lists what moves from Black Ops 7 into Modern Warfare 4 and Warzone.

What’s next
Activision said in the Season 1 announcement that a separate Warzone roadmap blog would follow on Monday, November 2. That’s where details on the returning Verdansk and Rebirth Island should appear. Season 1 itself arrives on November 6. If you play Modern Warfare 4 itself, our Season 1 roadmap and MW4 release time guide have the rest of the schedule. We’ll update this post if Activision announces an exact server switch-off time.
