Crossplay continues with the launch of Call of Duty®: Black Ops 6, allowing players on all platforms to play together.

Along with this unified playing experience, crossplay enables cross-progression, which means your progression in Black Ops 6 will carry over across all platforms linked to the same Activision account, regardless of console generation.

On top of that, gameplay in Black Ops 6’s Multiplayer and Zombies – as well as in Call of Duty®: Warzone™ starting in Season 01 – will count toward your overall player progression and Battle Pass progression.

How does crossplay work?

To make crossplay possible, the game requires players to log in to an Activision account. If you don't have an Activision, you can create a free one here or in the game when you connect online for the first time.

Your Activision account comes with a unique Activision ID, which is how you'll appear in game and how you and your friends can identify each other.
