How to play COD Warzone Mobile early

Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile has been teased for a long time, and the game is finally available via a limited release in certain countries. Even if Warzone Mobile’s limited release isn’t available in your country, however, there are still ways to start playing early.

If you’re getting tired of Call of Duty Mobile and want to give Warzone Mobile a try, then you can easily do so depending on your device and location.

As always, Android users will have an easier time with this sort of thing than iOS users, but getting Warzone Mobile early is possible for both devices. Here’s what you need to do to get Warzone Mobile’s limited release in the United States, Canada, and other countries early.

How to Play Warzone Mobile Early in the US

Warzone Mobile’s limited release is currently only officially available in Australia, Chile, Sweden, and Norway. If you’re located in any of those four countries, you can find the game on the App Store or Play Store and download it normally. If you want to download the game in a country like the United States, however, you need to get access to the App Store or Play Store from one of those countries.

Since there are restrictions on how often you can change your account’s region and payment information on both Android and iOS devices, it’s best to just create a brand new account specifically for Warzone Mobile. When making the new account, set the country to Australia, Chile, Sweden, or Norway so you can get access to the correct App Store or Play Store.

Once you’ve created a new account on your device with the location set to the right country, you should be able to find Warzone Mobile in the App Store or Play Store normally. Instead of seeing the usual pre-registration option, though, you’ll be able to download it ahead of its global release. After installing, you’ll also need to use a VPN service like TunnelBear or PowerVPN to trick the game into thinking you’re located in a supported region.

Once Warzone Mobile is installed on your device and you have a VPN set up, you’ll be able to play the game normally and you can even swap back to your normal Apple ID or Google account after the game is downloaded. You’ll probably experience some connection issues in-game, however, since Warzone Mobile is still only officially available in a handful of countries.

Still, you’ll get to test out multiplayer and battle royale on classic maps like Verdansk and Rebirth Island before anyone else.
