The game features two main Battle Royale maps, Verdansk and Rebirth Island, as well as cross-progression for players of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and the PC/console version of Call of Duty: Warzone.

Level up your weapons and XP no matter where you are. Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile supports shared progression with the console and PC versions of Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare III. Simply log in using your Activision ID, and most content acquired in Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone is seamlessly transferred and becomes continuously available between your games.

For gamers playing on iPhone 15 Pro models and iPads with an M1 chip or later, the game includes a "Peak Graphics" mode that runs in 2K with improved textures, lighting, draw distance, ambient occlusion, and resolution caching.


Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile requires iOS 16/iPadOS 16 or later, and has been available to pre-order on the App Store since November 2022, back when Activision was originally targeting a May 2023 release. More than 50 million players have pre-registered for the game already, according to MacRumors sister site TouchArcade.

Is this level of gaming possible with a phone that stutters just from doing taxing things like switching between apps or typing on the keyboard?
You do realize that the iPhone 15 Pro Max is literally one of the fastest machines on the market for these "taxing things like switching between apps or typing".

Even the M2 Ultra Mac Pro and M2 Ultra Mac Studio have a weaker processor for these type of tasks, as they have a lower single core performance than the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

If your iPhone is stuttering for these "taxing things", it's time to upgrade to the iPhone 15 Pro Max which has none of these issues like your iPhone.

Well, I just installed the game on my iPhone 15 Pro Max and so far it ran super smooth and the graphics looked pretty good too.

So if your iPhone 15 Pro Max is even struggling with very basic things, then maybe try doing a complete clean reinstall again or whatever.
I think you are being lead down a path my friend....

Just another copy of Cod mobile ridden with battle pass nonsense, immersion ruining skins and predatory MT. Not to mention it has nothing to do with Call of Duty. Dead brand.

Considering these studios are still pouring money into these games, they must make their money back in some way.
I guess there's a public for that. Must be the same persons who never cared about learning how to use their phones to make a call other than holding it like a waffle.
It's a little bewildering how out of touch MacRumors community members are when it comes to the overwhelming popularity of mobile games. It's a market segment that generates nearly half of all revenue in the game industry and folks still assume it's some quirky little experiment that someone must be enjoying.
