Progress Timeline
Activity Summary
Partially blocked in Syria. Reported fully blocked in February 2026, the website later became reachable but Syria was missing from the account-registration country list, lowering the status to limited. Community volunteers contacted the publisher in March 2026, and the team raised the case with the parent company at corporate level the same month. A June 2026 community test confirmed online multiplayer still fails from Syria while local play works.
Contacted Company
Official outreach email sent from corporateaffairs@unblocksyria.com to eccn@microsoft.com. Activision Blizzard was explicitly named alongside LinkedIn as a Microsoft product with Syria restrictions requiring review. The email argued for a single corporate-level compliance review.
