Call of Duty on API Status CheckCommon Call of Duty Issues During Outages
Matchmaking and lobby connection failures
Players may see 'Searching for match' indefinitely, lobby disconnects, or 'Unable to connect to server' errors during outages.
Login and authentication errors
Failed sign-ins, 'Service unavailable' messages, or Activision account authentication timeouts indicate server problems.
High ping and lag spikes
Servers under stress may cause extreme lag, rubber-banding, teleporting players, or hits not registering properly.
Progression and stats not saving
XP, weapon unlocks, and match stats may fail to track or update during backend service degradation.
Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume Call of Duty Is Down
- 1
Check your platform's network status
Verify PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, or Battle.net status separately. COD issues often correlate with platform outages.
- 2
Restart the game and platform
Fully quit Call of Duty, close the launcher (Battle.net/Steam), and restart your console or PC to clear connection caches.
- 3
Try a different game mode
If Warzone matchmaking fails, try multiplayer or DMZ. Some modes remain accessible during partial server outages.
- 4
Switch servers or use a VPN
If your region's servers are down, a VPN can route you to working servers in another region (at the cost of higher ping).
- 5
Clear game cache and verify files
On Battle.net/Steam, scan and repair game files. On console, clear the cache via Settings > Storage > Clear Cache.

Call of Duty Status FAQ
Is Call of Duty down right now?
Check support.activision.com/onlineservices and API Status Check for independent monitoring. If both show incidents, COD servers are likely down for many players.
Why can't I connect to Call of Duty servers?
Connection failures can be caused by server outages, platform network issues, or local network problems. Check Activision status, your platform's network, and your internet connection.
Is Warzone down separately from multiplayer?
Yes, Warzone and multiplayer sometimes have separate server infrastructure. One mode may be down while the other works. Check status.activision.com for mode-specific updates.
Why is my ping so high in COD?
High ping during non-outage times is usually network routing or ISP issues. During outages, server congestion causes lag spikes. Check your connection and Activision status.
