Are you having trouble remembering which Activision account is linked to your Call of Duty: Black Ops III (BO6) Steam game? It's a common problem, especially if you've played across multiple platforms or over a long period. This guide will walk you through the steps to find the associated Activision account. Unfortunately, there's no single, direct way to see the linked account within the Steam client itself. However, we can use a few methods to determine this.
Method 1: Checking Your Activision Account Directly
This is the most reliable method. Activision keeps track of all your linked platforms. By logging into your Activision account, you can check for linked games.
Steps:
- Go to the Activision website: Navigate to the official Activision website.
- Log in: Enter your Activision account username and password. If you've forgotten your password, use the password recovery option.
- Navigate to Account Settings (or similar): The exact location might vary slightly depending on the website's current layout. Look for a section related to account management, settings, or profile.
- Look for Linked Accounts or Consoles: Find a section displaying the games or platforms linked to your account. This area should list Black Ops III and the platform (in this case, Steam) it's connected to. If you see Black Ops III listed under your account and it shows Steam as the platform, you've found your linked account.
Method 2: Checking Your Black Ops 3 In-Game Settings (If Possible)
Sometimes, game settings may provide a clue. This method relies on your ability to still launch the game and access its menus.
Steps:
- Launch Black Ops III on Steam: Start the game through your Steam library.
- Navigate to the Options or Settings menu: Find the main menu, typically accessed from the pause screen or the main lobby.
- Look for an Account section: Depending on the game version, you might find a section showing your Activision ID or a related identifier. This isn't guaranteed, as this information is not consistently displayed across all versions or updates.
Method 3: Checking Your Email Inbox
This is a less reliable method but may be helpful if you remember linking your accounts via email.
Steps:
- Search your inbox: Search your email history for emails from Activision or Blizzard (Activision Blizzard owns the Call of Duty franchise) around the time you linked your account to Black Ops III.
- Look for confirmation emails: These emails often confirm account linking, potentially revealing the Activision account used for the connection.
Troubleshooting Tips:
- Multiple Activision Accounts: If you have multiple Activision accounts, try logging into each one to check for Black Ops III.
- Forgotten Account Details: If you've forgotten your Activision account details, use the account recovery options on the Activision website.
- Contact Activision Support: If all else fails, consider contacting Activision support directly for assistance. They have tools to help you identify linked accounts.
Remember to always be cautious about sharing your account details and only use official Activision channels for support. By following these steps, you should be able to successfully identify the Activision account linked to your Black Ops III Steam game.
