Warzone is free, meaning any PlayStation 5 user can install the battle royale and experience everything Verdansk has to offer.
Purchasing Black Ops 6 or any previous Call of Duty title is not required to access Warzone. If you are returning or downloading for the first time, it’s the perfect time to get into the battle royale. Raven Software released a new and improved version of Warzone’s original map, Verdansk.
In addition, the massive update cracked down on cheating, made several community-requested quality-of-life changes, shook up the game’s meta, and re-introduced several iconic weapons, including the Kilo 141 and HDR. If that was enough to lure you in, here is everything you need to know about downloading Warzone.
