In fact, it is necessary to go through the disconnection of the profile . In fact, a profile like Activision’s , which you are usually asked to create when you first start the game, is associated with accounts like the PlayStation Network or the Microsoft one .

This can potentially lead to some “headaches”, such as data loss , as I explained in the opening chapter , or the inability to reconnect the profile .
It is therefore a procedure in some ways “insidious”, since you may no longer be able to recover all the progress you have made within the game, which is why I recommend proceeding only if you are really convinced. Among other things, it is possible to make a single logout every 12 months . In short, I advise you to think carefully before proceeding: you have been warned.
In case you want to continue the same, I’ll explain immediately how to disconnect your Activision account from that of your reference platform, so that you can potentially use another one.

You can log in with PSN , Microsoft , Battle.net or Steam profiles , so to speak.
Once logged in the way you prefer, just press on the PROFILE item , present at the top right, to access the screen dedicated to connecting the accounts. If the portal does not offer you this option directly, you can in any case click on the ACCOUNT CONNECTION box on the left.
Perfect, now you are on the correct page: if you are convinced and have thoroughly evaluated all the possible risks associated with possible data loss, you can proceed. To be clear, at this stage a message generally appears reminding the following.
“Cross-progression games save information about store progress and purchased content on the Activision account, not the platform account. Should you choose to unlink this account, you will not keep your progress and purchased content if you link it to a different Activision account.You will be able to access your progress and purchased content again by reconnecting this PlayStation account to the original Activision account .
Note: Platform accounts can be unlinked from Activision accounts once every twelve months . “

All you have to do is try to return to playing COD: Warzone on your “trusted” console and you will see that, if everything went well, you can set up a new account to play the Activision title (you will be prompted to do so on first start).
In case of problems , I remind you that you can contact Activision support through the appropriate official portal . In fact, if any inconveniences arise in the course of linking or disconnecting the account, which as I have already reiterated several times is an intricate operation, this is the method you can use to try to resolve the situation.
Put simply, what you can do to achieve your goal is to try to disconnect your old Activision account , try to log in with the new one and possibly, in case you can’t do it yourself, contact Activision directly for get assistance.
I know: the question is a bit complicated at the base, but unfortunately when it comes to connecting and disconnecting accounts there are always a thousand variables at play and therefore you have to pay close attention to the various operations that are carried out, trying not to lose anything.
