Notably, Call of Duty: Mobile has just added a custom 1v1 Quick Solo room allowing fans to duke it out and settle differences with mobile gaming. Synthwave Showdown launches on June 26, and fans can find more info on the CoD Blog .

Lastly, mobile gaming news concludes this week with an exciting Final Fantasy Brave Exvius livestream event celebrating its 8th anniversary.
