Warzone is natively supported on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC via Battle.net and Steam. If you are using a Mac, you are unfortunately out of luck as the title isn’t officially supported for macOS.

To download the game, simply head over to your respective platform’s storefronts and use the search box to look up ‘Warzone’. From there on, it is a simple download and play. However, for Windows PC users, they must make sure that their hardware can run the game. The shooter is quite resource hungry and is one of the few titles that is both CPU and GPU intensive, and can also take up huge chunks of RAM.

To know if your Windows PC can run the game properly, check the section below for minimum and recommended system requirements.
