Game servers for Call of Duty resumed functioning following a one-hour downtime across all platforms [UPDATED].
In an unexpected turn of events, Call of Duty players worldwide encountered a server outage on August 29, 2025. The disruption affected a variety of Call of Duty titles, including Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Call of Duty: WWII, and Call of Duty: Warzone.
The outage was first reported at 7:59 PM PST/10:59 PM EST, according to player reports. However, Activision's support page indicates that this may be in error. The Call of Duty Updates social media account confirmed the issue and shared that their team was investigating.
During the outage, players who were in a match were kicked back to the opening splash screen or fully kicked to the dashboard via a game crash. After the initial crash, the team posted an update via a tweet, informing players that they were working to stabilize the servers.
In addition to the Call of Duty series, other Activision games were also affected. Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, Crash Team Rumble, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4, and Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile were also impacted by the outage.
As of 9:25 PM EST, the Call of Duty services are currently stabilizing, but no official confirmation has been given about the cause of the outage. No new information has been provided about the expected duration of the stabilization process or when the servers will be fully operational.
The team will continue to monitor the issue as players begin to reconnect. However, no specific reports are available about who caused the disruption, nor the exact causes of the issues on August 29. Known issues in Warzone are tracked and investigated by Activision, but no detailed attribution for the August 29 disruption has been found in the search results.
It's worth noting that Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, and Crash Team Rumble are available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Battle.net, while Call of Duty: WWII, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2, and Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile are available on multiple platforms.
This is an ongoing development in the Call of Duty server outage incident. Players are advised to stay tuned for updates from Activision and the Call of Duty Updates social media account.
