A new Call of Duty: Warzone patch is out now, and in addition to the Season 3 Reloaded content changing Caldara, today’s update also drastically reduces the player count in battle royale matches–from 150 down to 120. You can see full details in the patch notes below along with a rundown on what else is new and different in Warzone. [Update: We also now have new Warzone patch notes for May 26, though they aren’t nearly as substantial as what’s outlined below.]
Developer Raven Software said the team is “very conscious” of making sure Warzone’s mid-game “doesn’t feel unfairly claustrophobic…” Dropping the player count to 120 is part of the studio’s effort to determine if this helps improve match flow. Raven said this is only a “trial” and that it will collect player data and review fan sentiment around the change.
