Inclusive Growth at Activision

Activision Rainbow lines

“Inclusive Growth” is Activision’s strategic approach to designing games, systems, and stories that welcome more players into our worlds. It aligns how our teams collaborate, how we build and ship experiences, and how we show up with credibility to global audiences. The goal is simple and powerful: equip our teams in ways that enable more people to access our games and see themselves reflected in them.

Activision's Press Pause video series

Shared Spaces for Authentic Experiences

PRESS PAUSE SERIES

Press Pause shares stories that help our teams learn from one another, broaden perspectives, and strengthen the creativity we bring to our games. By making space for voices across our teams, Press Pause ensures the worlds we build are as authentic and dynamic as the people who play them.

Our Games

Our work focused on Inclusive Game Design ensures more authentic narratives, broad community reach, and accessible systems that reflect global player needs, making our experiences more welcoming and engaging for all.

The three pillars of our IGD efforts are:

Accessibility

Making sure the widest possible audience can enjoy our games.

Representation

Tell more authentic, inclusive stories that reflect our world.

Community

Engage a broad range of players across our community in and around our games.

INCLUSIVE GAME DESIGN IN ACTION

We co-create with studios and business teams to foster curiosity, deepen education, and cultivate environments where inclusive design yields effective, innovative outcomes.

ACCESSIBILITY IN OUR GAMES

From subtitles and colorblind filters to custom controller options, our ever-expanding accessibility features ensure all players can enjoy epic experiences. 

Our Reach header

Our Reach

We’re committed to showing up intentionally and consistently with creators, students, and cultural organizations. It’s not just visibility, it’s credibility. Our goal is to build and activate a partner ecosystem that exposes surrounding communities to career paths into the gaming industry and inspires the next generation.

INVESTING IN THE NEXT GENERATION

We intentionally partner with youth-focused organizations that uplift voices and talent not fully represented in the gaming industry. Together, we listen, learn, and design curated experiences that deliver meaningful support to the students they serve.
