Those who are going to be diving into Modern Warfare 2 via PC on its launch will face the same problem as those going into Blizzard's recently released Overwatch 2 - you will need to link a phone number to access the game, and mobile phones with a prepaid plan"may not work".
Meanwhile, if you were thinking you could circumnavigate this phone number requirement by accessing Modern Warfare 2 via Steam, there is bad news. You will also need to have a phone number linked to your account here to access the game., Valve states that a mobile phone number"must" be linked to your Steam account in order to access the game. However, in this case, there is no mention on whether those on a prepaid mobile phone plan will see their endeavours scuppered.
Eurogamer has reached out to Activision for comment on this requirement for Modern Warfare 2, and enquired how those with a prepaid plan are expected to access the game on Battle.net.Blizzard recently made the call to pull back on its requirement that saw players needing to add their mobile phone numberBlizzard stated any Overwatch 2 player"with a connected Battle.
Others, however, will still need to, as the company sees this as a key factor in reducing"disruptive behaviour", claiming it will help stop banned users creating a new account as a nefarious work around to get back into a game.Get your first month for £1 when you buy a Standard Eurogamer subscription.
