Call of Duty: Warzone Begins Testing 150-Player Matches
Raven Software confirms intermittent testing of expanded player counts in standard battle royale playlists, with feedback determining future updates.
- Call of Duty: Warzone is testing 150-player matches in standard battle royale playlists, marking a return to its original player count at launch in 2020.
- The testing is intermittent and will not affect Ranked Play, allowing players to choose between modes during the trial period.
- Raven Software is closely monitoring player feedback, match performance, and overall game flow to evaluate the impact of the increased player count.
- This change follows community demand to restore larger lobbies after reductions to 100 players in 2023 and an increase to 120 in 2024.
- The test coincides with speculation about the return of Warzone's original Verdansk map in the upcoming Season 3 update, scheduled for March 2025.
