In one of the most unbelievable twists in gaming history, Call of Duty Mobile has managed to severely outperform its Xbox, PlayStation, and even PC counterparts in an aspect that mobile games usually fall way behind in—the UI.
Yes, you read that right. If you’re one of those console or PC players who is overwhelmed with the amount of menus and buttons you need to go through just to start a match, you might want to consider switching to the mobile version.
Players Shocked After Comparing Call of Duty Mobile UI to PC and Console
The mobile game effortlessly streamlines the CoD Mobile experience with a sleek UI, making it a breeze for players. In contrast, users on other devices grapple with a chaotic main screen overloaded with menus and buttons.

You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who believes this claim without tangible proof, and it’s hard to blame them.
Mobile games are infamous for their UIs being extremely hostile and unfriendly to players. Trying to navigate the dozens upon dozens of menus sandwiched between other menus, all to get rid of one tiny red notification dot because you’ve not claimed a gift or read an in-game notice, should be considered an Olympic sport by this point.
It’s not a single mobile game pulling this move, or a few. It’s a wide-scale problem—one that Call of Duty Warzone Mobile has mysteriously managed to avoid, specifically with its game mode selection screen. Players get a clear view of exactly what they’re selecting, what kind of match it is, squad size, and other important details.
It can be argued that this is the bare minimum that a game with multiple game modes should provide its players with. Unfortunately, the PC version seems to have missed the memo.

Many players shared their thoughts on the difference in UI, and to no surprise, the overwhelming verdict was one of complete disappointment.
You know we’re cooked when mobile looks better

According to one player, the UI on the console was no better.
UI on console gives me an aneurysm everytime I log in and try to find a match

One X user shared their thoughts on why there was such a huge contrast between the menus.
It’s because they make the most money on CoD mobile. Mobile players buy everything they can 💀 they want all of us to do the same thing.

Some replies took a shot at Warzone on PC and exclaimed that the mobile version also had more players, implying that Activision put more effort into it for this reason.
Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile Could Release Soon Worldwide
Fans are on the edge of their seats, waiting for the release of this game. Unlike CoD Mobile, Warzone Mobile will not be developed by Tencent Games—alongside Activision, studios Digital Legends Entertainment, Beenox, and Demonware Softwarehaus GmbH will be involved in its development.
The game is currently in early access for people in some countries, while other fans eagerly wait for a worldwide release. According to an X account that did some digging into one of the games’ official videos, Warzone Mobile could be released on May 13 or March 19.
