The January 13 Call of Duty update issues several bug fixes.
Today’s Call of Duty update has caused more problems than it fixed for CoD players. Soon after the update, multiple players reported not being able to find matches in matchmaking. The bug has impacted players across BO6 and Warzone.
How to check Call of Duty server status
You can check the Call of Duty server status in multiple ways. The first step would be to check the social media accounts for Call of Duty. Many early issues are reported on social media posts and players can stay updated with the expected time of fix.
Alternatively, players can also check the Activision Blizzard webpage to see the game’s server status. At present, both BO6 and Warzone are showing as online, although players are still reporting matchmaking issues.
When will Call of Duty servers be back up?
Usually, when a bug causes problems in the game right after an update, the developers are quick to jump on it. As such, players can expect a small patch fix in a few hours time. Since this bug is impacting only online matchmaking, it is most likely a server-side fix that will solve the issue.
