The issues impact the servers for Black Ops Cold War and Modern Warfare, which includes Warzone. It also includes all platforms, including PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. Players should still be able to play single-player content like the Campaigns, or solo lobbies for multiplayer and zombies.
Some users have reported being able to get into games after waiting in a queue, while others are still unable to connect at all.
The Call of Duty server outage doesn’t appear to correspond to any updates or planned server downtime for the game(s). It does come just ahead of a Zombies Free Access Week for Black Ops Cold War that is scheduled to begin on Thursday, Jan 14th. Treyarch also announced double weapon XP for this coming weekend, as well as the mid-season update that brings new maps, modes, and more to Black Ops Cold War, including the enormous Sanatorium map.
Have you run into any Call of Duty servers down issues today, or are you able to get into games on Black Ops Cold War or Warzone? We’ll keep an eye on the Call of Duty server status and update you once everything is back online.
