New System Requirements for iOS and Android Users

The updated specifications mean that Warzone Mobile will now require iOS 17 or higher for iPhone users and Android 13 or higher for Android users. Both platforms also demand support for bindless texturing, which excludes specific GPUs from compatibility, including:

Mali-G76 MC4, Mali-G52, Mali-G71, Mali-G51
Adreno 610, Adreno 613, Adreno 612, Adreno 615, among others

Devices without these compatible GPUs will not run Warzone Mobile following the November 14 update.

Compensation for Incompatible Devices

Players with devices that no longer meet the requirements will be able to continue playing Warzone Mobile until May 5, 2025, provided they installed the game before November 14, 2024. Additionally, affected users are eligible for compensation in Call of Duty: Mobile as a gesture of goodwill from the developers.

Why Warzone Mobile is Increasing Requirements

According to the developers, raising minimum device requirements is essential to ensure a high-quality gaming experience as they introduce new gameplay elements and share features across the Call of Duty ecosystem. By focusing on higher-spec devices, Activision aims to deliver consistent and immersive gameplay without sacrificing performance.
