The application name for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone was altered to "iw8 ship". This is a bug seen mostly on Xbox consoles and will likely be fixed soon. Some players resolved this issue by simply restarting their devices.

A Reddit user, u/Huntmanbravo, stated, "The iw8 ship is a bug. It means that it is the ship build of IW's 8th title."
