Activision Sends Players Personal Info to Reveal Hidden SBMM Ratings

Jan 03, 2025 10:57 AM

Call of Duty players are actively seeking their hidden skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) ratings following a YouTuber's revelation on how to access this information. With SBMM being a hotly debated topic, high-skill players often find themselves in challenging lobbies against similarly skilled opponents. However, Activision has kept skill ratings concealed until now. The method shared involves submitting a personal information request through Activision’s privacy page to get detailed match data going back to 2021’s Vanguard release. Players will receive statistics including match details, performance metrics, and their skill ratings via email. The results can help players understand their performance trends, but it doesn't provide comparative skill data against other players or lobby ratings. Activision previously described SBMM as a fluid measurement influenced by players' overall performance across various metrics.

How can I find my hidden SBMM rating in Call of Duty?

You can find your hidden SBMM rating by submitting a personal information access request through Activision’s privacy page, which requires logging into your Activision account. After that, you will receive an email with detailed match data, including your skill rating.

Call of Duty has been a leading franchise in the first-person shooter genre since its inception in 2003. The franchise continually evolves with each new installment, including the latest, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Known for its fast-paced multiplayer and engaging campaigns, the series consistently garners a dedicated player base, making the discussion around skill-based matchmaking particularly pertinent as players seek fair and balanced competition experiences.
