The official account of COD Updates has been constantly posting about the progress made towards fixing the issue. Players have been posting about the outage, constantly sharing their frustration. For the time being, there’s no estimated time reported by the developers for the issues to be sorted out.
Call of Duty Outage Causes Frustration Among Fans, No Estimate for Resolution

At the moment, Champions Quest has been re-enabled, and Activision is also rolling out fixes across the affected titles and modes. Activision stated that players will now also see their progression “restored across impacted games.” While fixes are being deployed, it might still take a while for players across all regions to access Ranked Play.
Ranked Play Being Fixed, Players Required to Restart Game
Players were still able to access multiplayer while Activision was busy trying to fix the issues, and those who tried the multiplayer modes reported them being a lot easier to handle as Skill-based Matchmaking was disabled. At the time of writing, Ranked Play was said to be fixed and players were asked to restart their games to check player progression being restored.
Players have been responding to the official updates account on X with their gamer tags to get their player progression restored, in case it doesn’t reflect in their accounts. Players were asked to mention the official COD account ID along with their Activision ID and their Combat Record for the support team to help restore progression.
Xbox Head Phil Spencer had also recently come on record to mention the missing franchise in Xbox Game Pass, Activision’s Call of Duty franchise will make it to the Xbox and PC Game Pass. Spencer had mentioned that the entire portfolio from Zenimax and Activision is being considered to debut on Xbox Game Pass.
Once the entire COD franchise hits the Game Pass catalog, the subscription count is expected to grow significantly, with new titles to look forward to as well. As for this year’s COD title, it’s rumored to be a Black Ops title based on the Gulf War. For now, though, players will hope Activision fixes all the major issues at the earliest and the weapons are restored to their actual levels.
How long have you been waiting for Activision to fix today’s major COD issues? Let us know in the comments.
