Warzone Ranked Play: What ranks can you play with?

Warzone has Ranked Play yet again letting the battle royale’s most competitive players get serious about climbing the tiers, but how do those tiers work and do they restrict who you can play with? Here are all the answers to those questions.

Ranked Play was one of the most highly-requested features in Warzone ever since it launched in 2019, especially in Verdansk when the player base was at its peak. This request would eventually be answered in a defining update for Warzone 2 in May 2023.

However, Ranked was removed when Modern Warfare 3‘s weapons were integrated, though it was later reintroduced in Season 2. Its return saw new rules and restrictions enforced changing who you can team up with. Here’s how these updated party restrictions work.

What ranks can play together in Warzone?

Here’s who you can party up with in Warzone Ranked Play, based on your current rank:

• Bronze through Platinum: Can party up without any restrictions
• Diamond: Can party within 2 Skill Divisions
• Iridescent (Including Top 250) & Crimson: Can party with players within 1 Skill Division

So, if you’re at a significantly higher (or lower) rank than your friends or teammates, there might be some struggles to always team up, but by and large, there shouldn’t be that much discrepancy between people who play together regularly.

Naturally, there will be instances where you end up playing in ranked games against all different ranks, whether you’re Bronze or Iridescent. While it can be frustrating, especially if your opponents are ranked significantly higher, this shouldn’t happen too often.

Something else to be aware of is that finding a game becomes more difficult the larger the rank gap between party members. So you should expect longer queues to get into a game if one of your teammate’s ranks is much higher or lower than your own.
