https //www.callofduty.com/unlink : Unlinking Call of Duty Platform Accounts

You may unlink Call of Duty individual platform accounts from an Activision account once every 12 months. Sign in to your Activision account. In the ACCOUNT LINKING section, find the account you wish to unlink and select UNLINK.

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 in crossplay-enabled games 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.

Linking Platform Accounts

PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, Blizzard, and Nintendo accounts can be linked to an Activision account.

Follow these steps to link a platform account:-

  1. Sign in to the PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, Blizzard, or Nintendo account you wish to link.
  2. In the same browser, sign in to your Activision account.

    • Please note: Activision accounts may only have one account linked per manufacturer.
  4. Select CONTINUE. You will be taken back to the PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, Blizzard, or Nintendo website to complete the account linking process.

Please note: Game progress in Call of Duty: Vanguard, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and Warzone is stored on your Activision account, not your platform account. If you choose to link your platform account to another Activision account, your progress will not carry over. Your progress and content aren’t lost. If you relink this platform account to the original Activision account, you can continue your progression and access your owned content.

Two-Factor Authentication

If you are creating an account for the first time, or if you haven’t set up two-factor authentication on an existing account, you will be presented with a two-factor authentication setup. If you skipped the setup flow, you can enable two-factor authentication in the PRIVACY & SECURITY section of your account.

Follow these steps to set up two-factor authentication.

1. Download and install the Google Authenticator app on your smartphone or tablet.

8. Select Activate to complete the setup.

After completing setup, you will be presented with 10 backup codes to use in case you cannot access or no longer have access to the Google Authenticator app. Keep these codes somewhere safe but accessible. For security reasons, each backup code may only be used once.
