Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) is essential to our mission to connect and engage the world through epic entertainment. We produce our best work when our people reflect the diversity of our players, and when our people can show up as their authentic selves. We are building a workplace that embraces, values, celebrates, and welcomes our differences to help us innovate and succeed in our mission.
We are proud of the progress we have made and are honored that Activision Blizzard was named as one of the “Best Places to Work for LGBTQ Equality” by the Human Rights Campaign in 2019, 2020 and 2021. Building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace is an ongoing journey, and we are committed to focusing on our people, culture, and content so that we can continue delivering epic experiences for our global player community.
Our strength comes from our passionate, diverse people creating epic entertainment. A focus on DE&I is key to helping our people thrive.
Together, we can foster inclusion and belonging. We celebrate and encourage diversity, making ourselves, our communities and our games even better.
Epic entertainment comes from our passion, pride, creativity, and diverse points of view. We want to create experiences that delight and reflect our global and diverse player community.
We value the diversity of the people within the Activision community and understand that our employees and players come from different backgrounds, geographies, and cultures. In order to deliver epic and engaging entertainment for a diverse, global player community, our workforce must be aligned. We strive to attract, retain, and grow world-class talent that is as diverse as our player community.
Fostering an inclusive culture where employees are valued and heard - and feel a sense of belonging - is mission-critical. Through our global Employee Networks, we create opportunities for cultural awareness, professional development, networking, and community involvement. These groups are employee-led and reflect the diversity of our organization.
Above all, our strength comes from passionate, diverse people doing incredible things—for each other, our players, and the world.
Our players deserve our best. Listen to them, engage with them and deliver for them.
Our journey for a better tomorrow starts with each of us. Make ourselves, our communities, and our games better through Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion—every day.
Next level epic entertainment comes from our passion, pride, creativity, and rigor. Think big, be bold and always aim to raise the bar together.
We create fun for the world. Let’s have fun doing it!
Video games are for everyone. From creating characters that reflect our players to developing tools that help gamers with varying abilities enjoy our games, our goal is to create an epic experience that is welcoming and safe for every player.
“Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War provides colorblind options like color correction and custom selection of gameplay icon colors.”
“Call of Duty Warzone includes a number of preset controller configurations to better adapt to different player needs and preferences.”
“Crash Bandicoot 4 It's About Time offers our players robust subtitle options, including ways to adjust text size, text font, and contrast.”
At Activision, we strive to make great games – for all. Our passion for inclusion extends to the craft and care we put into making our games accessible. Through a variety of accessibility features - such as robust subtitles, flexible color vision deficiency filters, and bespoke controller options - we aim to welcome all players to enjoy the epic gaming experiences our company has to offer.

Our Community Impact
We can serve the global community by using our platform to comfort, inspire, and draw communities together. We also believe in the power of partnership to create opportunities for people and build the next generation of game-changers.
For example, we founded the Call of Duty Endowment in 2009 to help veterans find high-quality careers by supporting groups that prepare them for the job market and by raising awareness of the value vets bring to the workplace.
Additionally, across our global organization, we invest in programs that provide underserved students with exposure to education and career opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts creativity, and Mathematics (STEAM). We partner with organizations such as The United Negro College Fund, Management Leadership for Tomorrow, Equal Justice Initiative, and Maydm, to name a few.
