Activision's new free battle royale game mode aims to rival Fortnite. We review if subscription is necessary on PS4 and Xbox.
Call of Duty: Warzone is a reality. The expected battle royale mode of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare arrives for free for all users, whether or not they have the main game, in the form of free to play (free with integrated purchases). Activision wants to rival Fortnite: Battle Royale and does so with this alternative for all PS4, Xbox One and PC players; without the need to have bought the last installment of the saga; But is it necessary to have a PS Plus or Xbox Live GOLD subscription?
PS4: it is not necessary to subscribe to PS Plus
We start with the Sony console. An agreement between the North American publisher and Sony Interactive Entertainment allows PlayStation 4 users not to have a subscription to PS Plus, the PlayStation brand paid membership service. Like other free to play games like Fortnite, where there is no need to have an active account, it is completely free at all levels. Zero cost to play Call of Duty: Warzone on PS4.
However, those who are members of PS Plus will have an additional bonus, a so-called Combat Pack at no additional cost whose content will be revealed later.

Xbox One: it is necessary to have Xbox Live GOLD
Those who intend to play Call of Duty: Warzone on any of the Xbox One family models will not have the same fate. In this case, Microsoft does force Xbox One users to have an active subscription to the Xbox Live GOLD service; like other free to play games like the aforementioned Fortnite from Epic Games.
Finally, those who plan to play from PC will only have to access Battle.net, download the game and start playing: you don't have to pay to play online on a computer.
Agenda: what time you can start playing Call of Duty: Warzone
Call of Duty: Warzone will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC from March 10 at 4:00 p.m. (Spanish peninsular time) for those who have the full version of Modern Warfare; Those who do not have the game will have to wait until 20:00 (CEST) to start playing.
