Call of Duty Confirms New Minimum Specs for Warzone Mobile
With the launch ofWarzonexBlack Ops 6Season 1 on November 14, the free-to-play Battle Royale game will be fully integrated with Treyarch Studios' new entry. This means all of the player’s weapons, operators, and more will be connected withWarzone, alongside the game’s major features, like omnidirectional movement. This also means thatWarzone Mobilewill be receiving the same treatment, which Activision says will require the game’s mobile specifications to be increased. “We’ve been heads down working on the latest shared features like Omnimovement and connected content coming with BO6/WZ S1 and beyond plus exciting QOL updates,” the studio said in a new post on Twitter. “With these innovative improvements and meaningful technical advancements coming to mobile, we’re going to be updating our minimum specifications.”
From November 14,Warzone Mobileplayerswill need to be on either an Apple device with iOS 17 or higher, or on a mobile device operating on Android 13 or higher. Activision also says that the device will need to be capable of bindless texturing. While the studio says most devices operating on at least iOS 17 or Android 13 will likely have a GPU capable of bindless texturing, an official FAQ includes afull list of devicesknown to be unsupported. For players on an unsupported device, Activision says those already on version 3.10 will still be able to play until July 23, 2025, but will not receive the new Season 1 content. Version 3.10 will then become unplayable from the aforementioned date.
