Is Warzone Mobile cross-platform?
CoD Warzone Mobile is not cross-platform. When you’re playing Warzone on your smart device, you are playing online with other Warzone Mobile players - and that’s it.
We’ve seen some confusion on the subject, which is understandable. It is called Warzone Mobile, so you might assume it’s a mobile port of the console and PC version of Activision’s battle royale.
Simply put, there is no cross-platform multiplayer in Warzone Mobile. You cannot play with other players on the console and PC versions of Warzone. They are two different games.
To help add to the confusion, though, there is some level of cross-progression between Warzone Mobile and Warzone on PC and console.

Does Warzone Mobile have cross-progression?
CoD Warzone. Activision
Yes, Warzone Mobile does have cross-progression with Warzone on PC and console.
While you cannot play cross-platform multiplayer in the new Android and iOS title, there is cross-progression across the two Warzone games.
Player Progression is shared across Warzone Mobile (WZM), Call of Duty: Warzone and CoD MW3. The main benefit of cross-progression is XP earned towards completing each season’s battle pass.
To activate cross-platform Player Progression in Warzone Mobile (and the other games listed above), simply link your Activision ID that you use on all CoD titles in-game. Once this is done, you will share cross-platform progression in a number of different areas.
You can always choose to not link your Activision ID to Warzone Mobile (or sign in with a different account) if you want to keep progress separate for any reason.
If you link your Activision ID to Warzone Mobile, your Player ID and Player Progression from MW3 and Warzone should instantly transfer across.
What transfers across CoD MW3, Warzone and Warzone Mobile?
