Activision has officially released the first Community Update for Call of Duty: Mobile on a new r/CallofDutyMobile subreddit showcasing the feedback they are aware of since the game’s launch, a peak of what’s coming to the game in the near future, and more.

On October 11, Activision added in a new mode Free for All for a limited time only allowing players to play the classic fan favorite mode in game. The mode will be removed from rotation on October 17.

This weekend in Call of Duty: Mobile will also see Double Soldier XP live from October 12 through October 13. And they’re teasing “A Classic Returns…” on October 14.

Activision also has confirmed they are continuing to investigate bring controller support to Call of Duty: Mobile sometime in the future but want to ensure they get all of the testing of the feature correct.
