A new patch for Call of Duty: Warzone is out now, and it makes some big changes. In particular, the Season 3 Reloaded update reduces the player count to 120 (down from 150) on all Caldera battle royale modes, and you can see the full patch notes 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.
