Managing Your Activision Account (2024)

Registering for an Account

Activision accounts offer exclusive rewards and give you access to the latest intel to enhance your gameplay. If you do not have an Activision account, you can create a free one.

Activision accounts also enable cross-progression on all accounts you have linked to your Activision account. Because game progression incrossplay-enabledgames is stored on your Activision account, you can play on any platform you have linked to your account, and your progression carries over.

You can register for an account using an existing gaming account with PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, or Blizzard. When registering with a gaming account, you will be taken to the gaming network's website to verify your login information.

If you don't have a gaming account, you can choose Mobile.
