Call of Duty Warzone is a standalone battle royale title that launched in March 2020 for PS4, PC, and Xbox One. The game was originally a companion title to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, but has since been assimilated into the Call of Duty: Black Ops – Cold War universe and received support for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Raven recently pulled the game’s loadout editing feature after making it available for only a single day, although it’s set to make a comeback later on.
