COD Mobile Will Be Phased Out After Warzone Mobile's Launch: Everything You Need to Know

According to recent information, Call of Duty: Mobile (CODM) will be phased out over time, outside of China, with the launch of Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile. Here's what we know about the phase out process and the future of your Call of Duty: Mobile account.

While Activision has not directly informed users of this change, we are likely to not get any cross-progression between both games. The upcoming Warzone Mobile launch will likely have a tie-in with the PC and console version of Call of Duty (and Warzone) as COD: Mobile has always been a standalone title.

With Tencent's TiMi Studios not working on Warzone Mobile, you might just lose access to all your purchases once COD: Mobile phases out. There may be some form of cross progression but we will have to wait for official information from Microsoft.
