Call Of Duty: Warzone And Modern Warfare Season 5 Patch Notes Now Available

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the battle royale game Warzone have grown again, and in a big way, with the launch of the huge Season 5 update on August 5. Just make sure you have plenty of time to wait. As is the case with most Call of Duty updates, it’s a doozy.

The update has now gone live through a very large patch. The patch began its rollout on PS4, Xbox One, and PC at around 11 PM PT on August 4. While you wait for the download to install, you can check out the full patch notes below, as posted by Infinity Ward on its website.

The Season 5 update adds new multiplayer maps for Modern Warfare, a new Ground War map, and a new Mini Royale mode for Warzone. There is also a new Battle Pass and more Operators, while the Warzone mode is getting refreshed with new areas and a freight train.

The Season 5 update comes at a strong time for Modern Warfare and Warzone. The battle royale game recently crossed 75 million players, while Modern Warfare is enjoying incredibly strong sales of the game and microtransactions, due in part to stay-at-home orders keeping people inside, playing games, and spending money on them.

Even with Modern Warfare and Warzone doing so well right now, Activision will release the next mainline Call of Duty game later this year. It is now confirmed to be a new title from Black Ops creator Treyarch. And while there are no official details on the game yet, it’s rumored to be Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Activision management said on an earnings call today that this new game from Treyarch will connect to Warzone in some capacity.
