  1. How to change email address on a Activision account that is using an old email address.


    Good evening. I am reaching out regarding an issue I am experiencing with my Activision/Blizzard account. Approximately seven months ago, I was required to create a new email address for personal reasons, consequently leading to the permanent deletion of my prior email address. Regrettably, my Activision/Blizzard account was originally created using the now inaccessible email address. As a result, I am unable to update my email address, as the system requires verification of the previous one, which is no longer feasible.

    Despite my efforts to resolve this matter through conventional channels, such as contacting Activision directly via email, I have yet to receive a response. Given my significant investment in this game, both in terms of time and financial resources, I am eager to find a resolution to this issue.

    I would greatly appreciate any assistance or guidance you may be able to provide in rectifying this situation.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

    :)

    Hi Connor, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I am sorry to hear that.

    Sadly, we can't directly help you with this there, since we are on a User's forum.

    In this case, you need to contact Activision support, as you already did.

    Checking the Activision support page* I found this information:

    "If you don't have access to the email address on your account, you will not be able to change your email address.

    However, you can still log in to the account if you have any accounts linked to it.

    To do this, select a linked account type on the Activision account login page, then log in to your linked account.

    https://s.activision.com/activision/login

    Due to privacy and security concerns, Activision Support may be unable to change account details."

    You should still be able to log in using your linked account credentials. Have you linked your Xbox account to your Activision account before?

    Good luck!

    How to change email address on a Activision account that is using an old email address.

    Ah I see. Unfortunately, I doubt that there is going to be anything that I can do to change anything on this account. The way activisions support system is set up makes it almost impossible to do anything correctly. Especially when changing account information is required. Thank you for the assistance. Have a good night.

    Activision account email loss

    Hi, if you're trying to change the email address associated to the Activision account itself. Without accessing to that email first you're not going to be able to end the process

    This is to avoid that someone else stole your account changing quickly the email address.

    You can try reaching Activision support to see if something can be done from their side

    But if not you need to keep using the Activision account with that old email
