Call of Duty: Warzone

the new battle royale game has been released and free to download and play for everyone

for gamers across PC, PS4 and Xbox One – albeit with some different caveats for the last one – after a muddled announcement process, which saw a streamer's gameplay video go up on YouTube before Activision had even acknowledged the game existed.

To help you get started with the new battle royale title, we've brought together all the timing, release and download information you need to get stuck in and shooting your friends online.

The official Call of Duty Twitter account released this Warzone download schedule, that you can see below.

Is Call of Duty warzone good?

It felt very much like a different game. A good one, but a different one. Warzone plays almost identically to Modern Warfare's multiplayer modes. It's just much bigger and more immersive

How to download Call of Duty: Warzone

If you have Modern Warfare (2019), you simply load up the game, and head to the Classified panel in the game's main menu. The size of the Warzone download will vary depending on whether you've downloaded the latest patch, though – 18-22GB if you have, and more like 80GB if you haven't.

You can, however, download Warzone as a standalone title – which, indeed, most of you will likely end up doing if you won't already have Modern Warfare (2019).

It will be listed like any other Call of Duty title on the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, or Battle.net on PC (you'll need the Battle.net desktop app for PC or Mac to download the game). Activision owns Blizzard, which is why Warzone is being pushed through Blizzard's Battle.net portal – and the download will apparently be 80-101GB.
