- Shortly after Electronic Arts abandoned the license, in May 2006, Activision acquired non-exclusive rights from MGM Interactive to develop and publish James Bond games, which were to become exclusive in 2007. Activision's first game was a tie-in to Quantum of Solace. 007: Quantum of Solace, which also included elements from Casino Royale, was released on 31 October 2008. it was released on PS3, PS2, Xbox 360, PC, Wii and DS. The game received mixed reviews, with the PS2 version receiving the best reviews. At E3 2010, Nintendo officially revealed GoldenEye 007, a Wii-exclusive remake of the critically acclaimed 1997 game. Developed by Eurocom, using their Dead Space: Extraction game engine, the game updated the story of the movie, with a script by Bruce Feirstein and the current Bond actor Daniel Craig as 007., it received positive reviews. A month later, a leaked media release suggested that Activision had hired Bizarre Creations to work on 007: Blood Stone, an original Bond experience written by Bruce Feirstein. Both games were released on November 2010. 'Blood Stone' was released for PC, PS3, Xbox 360 and DS, with mixed-to-positive reviews. In December 2010, a video (later backed up by Activision) and some screenshots from a new Bond game were leaked, identified as developed by Raven Software. This new game was thought to be set for release in 2011, but Activision never commented on any connection or status of that apparent title. In 2011 Activision ported the new GoldenEye 007 to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. Entitled GoldenEye 007: Reloaded, it presents an HD remastering of the original Nintendo Wii shooter from the previous year. On 19 April 2012, Activision announced plans for a new game titled "007 Legends" to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of the James Bond film franchise. The game has been described as a "greatest hits compilation", retelling six film narratives with an overarching storyline to connect them together. Activision announced that the gameplay mechanics would return to the first-person shooter after 007: Blood Stone experimented with the third-person perspective suggesting that this had been the case due to the mixed reviews the game in question had received. On 21 May 2012, Activision released the first trailer for 007: Legends. Thereafter, the missions are revealed to be based upon Goldfinger, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Licence to Kill, Die Another Day and Moonraker. On 9 November 2012, Activision added the last mission to the game, released as a downloadable content, which was definitely based on Skyfall. The game received negative reviews from several reviewers. Eurocom has since closed down. On 4 January 2013, Activision and Steam's online stores quietly removed online copies and pages for Quantum of Solace, 007: Blood Stone, and 007 Legends without explanation or warning. On 20 February 2013, Activision confirmed that in 2013 it would be backing away from licensed games in a statement though not confirmed, The 007 game license may have been revoked - the statement reads "Like any successful business, Activision Publishing consistently works to align its costs with its revenues—this is an ongoing process. In 2013, we expect to release fewer games based on license properties and as a result are realigning our structure to better reflect the market opportunities and our slate. Approximately, 30 full-time employees have been impacted globally, which represents approximately one half of one percent of Activision Blizzard's employee population. We are offering those employees who are impacted outplacement counseling services."

Activision is now one of the largest third party video game publishers in the world and was also the top publisher for 2007 in the United States. On January 18, 2008, Activision announced they were the top US publisher in 2007, according to the NPD Group. On December 2, 2007, it was announced that Activision would be acquired by Vivendi, with Vivendi contributing its gaming division plus cash, in exchange for a majority stake in the new group. The merger between Activision and Vivendi Games took place on July 9, 2008, with the newly formed company known as Activision Blizzard. Activision will still exist as a subsidiary owned by Activision Blizzard, and it will still develop and publish games such as Call of Duty and the Prototype series, along with some of Vivendi's owned IPs, such as the Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon series. As of June 15, 2010, Activision and Microsoft, specifically the Interactive Entertainment division, have an exclusive multiyear agreement; Don Mattrick announced this on June 14, 2010 during Microsoft's 2010 Electronic Entertainment Expo conference. On Feb. 9, 2011 Activision announced that it was cancelling the Guitar Hero franchise, and would no longer be developing or publishing future titles for the series and eventually clarified that the series was merely taking a break.

- До появления Activision, программное обеспечение для игровых приставок издавалось исключительно компаниями-создателями систем, для которых предназначались эти игры. Например, Atari была единственным издателем игр для Atari 2600. Это вызывало сильное недовольство разработчиков игр, поскольку они не получали большого вознаграждения за отлично сделанные игры и даже не упоминались в печатных материалах к игре. После того, как несколько игр стали бестселлерами, давшими прибыль в миллионы долларов, несколько программистов решили что с них хватит и покинули компанию. Так Activision стала первым сторонним разработчиком игр. Activision была основана Джимом Леви (Jim Levy), пришедшим из музыкальной индустрии, и четырьмя программистами, ушедшими из Atari — Дэвидом Крэйном (David Crane), Ларри Капланом (Larry Kaplan), Аланом Миллером (Alan Miller) и Бобом Уайтхедом (Bob Whitehead). Леви поддержал подход, при котором имена авторов игры упоминаются и раскручиваются вместе с самой игрой. Это был важный шаг, который помог молодой компании привлечь талантливых авторов. Уход из Atari четырёх программистов, чьи игры обеспечивали в то время более половины дохода с продаж картриджей, привёл к судебной тяжбе между двумя компаниями, которая не была полностью урегулирована до 1982 года. Когда на рынке игровых приставок начался спад, Activision расширилась, открыв направление игр для домашних компьютеров, а также скупив небольших издателей. В 1982 году Activision выпустила Pitfall!, которая многими считается первой игрой-платформером, и которая стала лучше всего продаваемой игрой для Atari 2600 (продано более 4 млн копий). Хотя команда уже доказала свою исключительность, Pitfall! принёс ей поистине большой успех. Игра не только породила множество клонов, в том числе в виде игровых автоматов, но и можно сказать стала основой для целого жанра платформеров, которые стали важной частью видеоигр 1980-х. В 1985 году Activision объединилась с Infocom — компанией-пионером текстовых адвентюр, которая испытывала трудности. Джим Леви был фанатом игр Infocom и хотел чтобы эта компания осталась на плаву. Однако, уже через шесть месяцев после объединения, Брюс Дэвис (Bruce Davis) стал во главе Activision. Он был против объединения с самого начала и правил жёсткой рукой. Он же провёл изменения в маркетинговой политике компании, в результате чего продажи игр Infocom резко упали. В итоге, в 1989 году Activision закрыла студию Infocom в Кембридже и предложила 11-ти из 26 сотрудников студии перебраться в штаб-квартиру компании в Силиконовой долине; пять из них согласились. В 1988 году в компании начались попытки участия в других видах разработки ПО кроме видеоигр, в частности, в разработке бизнес-приложений. Для этого Activision даже изменила имя на Mediagenic с тем, чтобы отразить в нём многообразие видов деятельности компании. Несмотря на переименование, Mediagenic продолжала широко использовать бренд Activision при издании игр для различных платформ. Однако, решение о вовлечении в другие виды бизнеса в конечном счёте привело компанию к необходимости защиты по статье 11 американского закона о банкротстве. Провал Mediagenic привел к реорганизации и объединению с The Disc Company. После выхода из процесса банкротства Mediagenic вновь сменила имя на Activision, это произошло в Делавэре в 1992 году. На этот момент штаб-квартира компании была перенесена из Силиконовой долины в Южную Калифорнию. В ходе банкротства, компания продолжала разрабатывать игры для PC и игровых приставок, и продолжала делать стратегические приобретения. После этого Activision решила сконцентрироваться на видеоиграх и только на них.
