Activision players may need support with a Call of Duty game, Activision account, hacked account, account linking, two-factor authentication, missing COD Points, an in-game purchase, a ban, technical problems or an existing support case. Activision primarily handles player support online, so the correct route depends on the game, platform and specific problem rather than one universal customer-service telephone number.
How to Contact Activision Customer Service
- Activision Support: Activision Support Center
- Support Options: Select your game, platform and issue
- Open and Previous Cases: Activision My Cases
- Hacked Account Recovery: Recover a hacked Activision account
- Account and Security Help: Activision Account & Security
- Ban Appeal: Check enforcement status or appeal an eligible ban
- Privacy Requests: Activision Privacy & Data Protection Portal
- Corporate / Legal Address: Activision Publishing, Inc., 2701 Olympic Blvd., Building B, Santa Monica, CA 90404
- Official Website: Activision.com
Activision does not currently publish one universal set of customer-service hours for every game, platform and support issue. Available support options and response times can depend on the problem selected in the support portal.
Best Activision Support Route by Issue
- Hacked Activision account: Use the dedicated Hacked Account Recovery process.
- Password, email verification or account credentials: Start with Activision Account & Security and Support Options.
- Linking or unlinking Xbox, PlayStation, Steam, Battle.net or Nintendo: Review Activision account-management instructions, then submit a support ticket if the self-service option does not resolve it.
- Two-factor authentication problem: Use Activision’s 2FA guidance and Support Options.
- Permanent ban: Check the Ban Appeal page for eligibility.
- Temporary ban or limited matchmaking: Review the enforcement status and policy; these states are not handled through the ordinary permanent-ban appeal process.
- Missing COD Points or in-game content: Use Activision Support when the purchase involved Activision in-game currency or content was not delivered as expected.
- Real-money purchase or refund: Contact the store or platform that processed the payment when required.
- Physical game purchase: Start with the original retailer.
- Existing Activision support ticket: Check My Cases rather than repeatedly creating new tickets.
- Delete an Activision account: Use the Privacy & Data Protection Portal only after reviewing the permanent consequences.
Activision Support Tickets and My Cases
Activision’s support system asks players to identify the game, platform or gaming service, topic and specific issue before displaying the applicable support options. Depending on the issue, the system may provide an article, account tool or the ability to submit a ticket.
When a support ticket is created, Activision sends follow-up to the email address associated with the account. Save the case number and use My Cases to check the status.
Avoid opening duplicate cases. Activision’s current system warns that only one support case may be open at a time. Starting another support case can close the existing case and place the new request at the end of the queue.
Activision Hacked Account Recovery
Use Activision’s dedicated Hacked Account Recovery process if someone linked an unfamiliar platform account, changed your account details or took control of the Activision account.
Activision currently says account-recovery requests can take up to two days to process. The result is sent by email.
If You Can Still Access the Account
If you still have access, secure the account immediately. Change the Activision password, review linked platform accounts and remove activity you do not recognize. You should also secure the email account and any Xbox, PlayStation, Steam, Battle.net or other platform account connected to Activision.
If You Cannot Log In
Activision’s recovery process may ask you to create a temporary Activision account using an email address you can access. You may also need to link an Xbox, PlayStation, Steam, Battle.net or Ubisoft account that had previously been connected to the hacked Activision account.
Do not link an unrelated platform account merely to complete the recovery form, and do not make purchases through the temporary recovery account. Activision warns that progress and purchases from the temporary account cannot be transferred.
Activision Account Email, Password and Linking Help
Activision accounts can connect with gaming accounts such as PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, Battle.net and Nintendo. Because game progress in crossplay-enabled games may be associated with the Activision account, changing or unlinking the wrong account can create additional problems.
Before changing linked accounts, confirm:
- The Activision ID and email address you intend to use
- The platform username being linked or unlinked
- Which Activision account currently contains your game progress
- Whether the platform account is already attached to another Activision account
- Whether you still control the email address associated with the Activision account
Use Managing Your Activision Account for current account-management instructions.
If You Lost Access to Your Activision Email
Losing access to the email associated with an Activision account can make account changes difficult. Activision’s current account guidance says an email address cannot be changed through the ordinary process when you cannot access the existing email account.
If a PlayStation, Xbox, Steam or other supported account remains linked, try signing in through that linked account. Activision also notes that Support may be unable to manually change certain account details because of privacy and security requirements.
Activision Bans and Ban Appeals
Activision maintains a separate Ban Appeal system for eligible enforcement actions.
Important distinctions include:
- Permanent ban: May be eligible for an appeal.
- Temporary ban: Not eligible for the permanent-ban appeal process.
- Limited matchmaking: Not eligible for an appeal while the account remains in that state.
- Account was hacked: Use Hacked Account Recovery if unauthorized activity may have caused the enforcement.
Activision states that the account holder is responsible for activity on the account and that decisions made through the appeals process are considered final. Do not create repeated support tickets attempting to bypass a completed enforcement decision.
COD Points, Purchases and Activision Refunds
The correct refund route depends on how the purchase was made. Activision does not control every transaction involving a Call of Duty game.
Physical Game Purchases
If you purchased a physical game, disc, collector’s edition or other retail product, Activision directs customers back to the original place of purchase for ordinary refund questions.
Real-Money Digital Purchases
For an accidental purchase made with real money, the platform or retailer that processed the payment may control the refund. Depending on where you play, this could include:
- Microsoft or Xbox
- PlayStation
- Battle.net
- Steam
- Apple App Store
- Google Play
If you bought Call of Duty content through PlayStation, see the PlayStation Customer Service guide. For Microsoft and Xbox account or purchase support, see Microsoft Customer Service.
COD Points and In-Game Currency
If COD Points or other in-game currency was charged but content was not delivered correctly, select the applicable purchase issue through Activision Support.
Activision’s current support policy states that it does not provide refunds for accidental purchases made using in-game currency. Real-money purchase disputes may instead belong with the store or platform that processed the transaction.
Technical Problems, Crashes and Online Play
Activision Support covers current games including Call of Duty titles and other supported Activision products. Before creating a technical-support request, gather:
- Exact game title
- Platform, such as PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, Battle.net or Windows
- Complete error message or error code
- Date and approximate time the problem occurred
- Whether the problem affects one mode or the entire game
- Whether other online games work normally
- Recent game, console, PC or network changes
- Screenshots or video showing the problem when useful
Use the specific game’s page within Activision Support rather than relying on troubleshooting instructions written for an older Call of Duty release.
Deleting an Activision Account
Account deletion is substantially different from logging out, unlinking a console account or uninstalling a game.
Activision’s Privacy & Data Protection Portal warns that deleting personal information associated with an Activision or linked platform account can permanently remove data including:
- Activision account information
- Game progress for affected Activision games
- In-game items
- Virtual currency
- Information associated with linked accounts
- Communications with Activision Support
Activision says deleted information cannot later be restored and purchases are not refunded merely because an account was deleted. Read every warning on the deletion page before confirming the request.
How to Escalate an Activision Support Problem
- Select the correct game and issue. Start through Activision Support Options rather than using a generic corporate contact.
- Sign in to the correct Activision account. Make sure it is the account containing the affected progress or linked platform.
- Describe the problem precisely. Include the game, platform, error, approximate date and what you already tried.
- Save the case number. Use My Cases to follow the existing request.
- Reply through the existing case when possible. Avoid creating unnecessary duplicate tickets.
- Use specialized tools when required. Hacked accounts, ban appeals and privacy requests each have their own process.
- Contact the payment platform when appropriate. PlayStation, Microsoft/Xbox, Steam, Battle.net, Apple, Google or another retailer may control the transaction or refund.
About Activision
Activision Publishing is a major video-game publisher known particularly for the Call of Duty franchise as well as other gaming properties. Activision’s support systems cover account, security, gameplay, purchase and technical issues across multiple console, PC and mobile platforms.
Microsoft completed its acquisition of Activision Blizzard in October 2023, making Activision Blizzard part of Microsoft. This ownership does not mean that ordinary Call of Duty account and gameplay problems should be sent through general Microsoft support. Activision continues to maintain its own player-support system.
