Black Ops 7 Split-Screen Disabled and Current Known Issues

Activision's current Black Ops 7 known-issues list says split-screen is temporarily disabled on every platform while a stability problem is investigated. The same list covers a zero COD Points display after updates, Xbox PC 0x errors, a PC Game Pass access message, and PC login timeouts.

Published July 15, 2026 at 9:35 PM GMT+3. Reviewed July 15, 2026 at 9:35 PM GMT+3. Evidence: official Activision known-issues list.

Bottom line

There is no setting that restores Black Ops 7 split-screen today. Activision says it will return in a future update. For a zero COD Points balance, quit and restart the game, sometimes more than once. For PC-specific errors, use only the listed repair steps and do not treat a server-status page as proof that a client bug is fixed.

Split-screen is disabled on every platform

Activision has removed split-screen while it investigates a stability issue. This is an acknowledged game feature problem, not a console setting to hunt for.

  • Affected platforms: all platforms.
  • Current state: temporarily disabled.
  • Reason given: a stability investigation.
  • Return date: not announced. Activision only says it will be re-enabled in a future update.

COD Points show as zero after an update

Activision describes this as a visual issue. The page says some players can see a zero balance after downloading an update, even when the balance has not been lost.

  • Quit the game application completely.
  • Restart it and check the balance again.
  • Activision says the restart may need to be repeated more than once.
  • Do not buy points again or assume a permanent loss before the balance refreshes.

PC and Game Pass issues with official steps

The known-issues page separates three PC-side problems. Match the exact message before changing files.

  • Xbox on PC 0x errors: open Windows Settings, find Call of Duty under Installed apps, then use Advanced options to Terminate and Repair the app. Reinstall only if the error remains after repair.
  • PC Game Pass access message: check Microsoft Store device management to make sure the device limit has not been reached.
  • PC login timeouts, including a Quit to desktop message: Activision says the issue is under investigation and asks players to include the error in a PC crash report.
  • Activision also repeats a player-reported workaround: delete only Documents > Call of Duty > players. It can reset customization such as keybinds and is not a confirmed root-cause fix.

Issues Activision marks as resolved

Do not keep troubleshooting an old report if it appears in Activision's resolved section. A remaining symptom may have a different cause or need a separate support case.

  • Ranked Play forfeit functionality is re-enabled.
  • Exfil timer refreshes, several progression trackers, reward delivery problems, and peripheral-disconnection crashes are listed as addressed.
  • Quick Play filter access and the Promotional Camos menu are listed as addressed.
  • A resolved item does not prove every crash, login error, or progression problem is fixed for every player.

Questions players are searching

  • Q: Why is Black Ops 7 split-screen not working? A: Activision temporarily disabled it on all platforms while it investigates a stability issue.
  • Q: Did I lose my COD Points after the update? A: Activision says a visual issue can show the balance as zero. Quit and restart the game, possibly more than once, before assuming the points are gone.
  • Q: How do I fix a Black Ops 7 0x error on Xbox PC? A: Use Windows Installed apps to Terminate and Repair Call of Duty, then reinstall only if repair does not resolve the error.
