However, if you used an Activision account, you&#8217;ll obviously still be able to use that to play Call of Duty Mobile or Call of Duty on PC and consoles. If you&#8217;ve got any unspent CoD points lying around on Call of Duty Warzone Mobile, the FAQ section suggests spending them before the 17th as they&#8217;ll be unavailable to use after the servers shut down.
