Activision Blizzard is being investigated by federal regulators over the company's handling of employees' allegations of sexual misconduct and workplace discrimination. As reported by The Wall Street Journal, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has subpoenaed Activision Blizzard and multiple senior executives including CEO Bobby Kotick.

The SEC has requested a wide range of documents from Activision Blizzard, including board meeting minutes since 2019, personnel files of six former employees, and separation agreements the company had reached with staffers in 2021, according to records obtained by WSJ. It also requested Kotick's communications with other senior executives in regards to complaints about sexual harassment or discrimination by Activision Blizzard employees and contractors.
