Following the settlement with Activision, Warzone now has a new name!
Starting with the next update, Warzone will be known as War.app.
Warzone’s official URL is changing from www.warzone.com to simply war.app. For now, warzone.com links will redirect to the new name, but it’s important that web players update their links to the game, since at some point in 2027 this redirect will stop working.
The name change will go live with the update 6.00.0, which will arrive to web users in the coming days and mobile users in the coming weeks.
Everything else about the game stays the same.
- Your Warzone account and email/password will still work just as they have.
- All of your progress and on-going games will stay just as they were.
- Mobile users do not need to download a new app. The app will stay in the same location on your device and the icon won’t change. Just the name displayed below the icon will change.
- If you stream the game on twitch after 6.00 is live, you should update the category from Warzone to war.app to ensure your twitch streams continue to be broadcasted on the website. All twitch streamers in the new war.app category will be shown by default, unlike before where streamers had to be approved to avoid conflicts with streamers streaming in the wrong category.
I realize name changes can be disruptive and polarizing. I apologize for any inconveniences caused, but changing the name away from Warzone was necessary. I fully intend for War.app to be the “forever” name so that we never have to go through this again.
I have many plans for the game that were on hold until the name change, so stay tuned for future updates. 2026 will truly be a pivotal year!
