Important notes for PS4 warzone players
Call of Duty: Warzone was removed from PlayStation 4 digital storefronts as of June 4 and is no longer available to download on PS4. However, if you already own Warzone in your PlayStation 4 library, you can still install and play it until the end of Season 06 for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. When moving to PS5, your full progression and content purchased with COD Points will carry over to any supported platform as long as you use the same linked Activision account. Note that some content, including COD Points, will only be available on a current-generation console within the same console family. If you need to access the store from your console's web browser, you can get a browser on PS5 through the system's built-in web features.
Setting up automatic updates for warzone
To keep Warzone current without manually checking for updates, enable automatic game updates in your PS5 system settings.
- Go to "Settings" from the main menu.
- Navigate to "System Software Update and Settings."
- Enable the option to automatically download and install updates.
With this setting active, your PS5 will handle Warzone updates in the background. This is especially useful if you frequently download free games on PS5, as it keeps your entire library up to date. If you also own other Call of Duty titles, the same automatic update process applies when you download call of duty modern warfare or any other game in the series.
