Overwatch 2 requires a phone number to play

One account is applied to each number.

Should unlike his predecessor Monitor 2 It’s now free to play, which of course increases the risk of cheating and leads people to create accounts on the go to be able to act like fools. However, Activision is ready with a host of solutions they ask for defense matrixAnd some of this is related to whether or not fans have cell phones.

In order to play the game, you must connect a mobile phone number to your Battle.net account, this applies regardless of the platform you are playing on and even if you own the first game. This is not only the ability to restore the account if something unexpected happens as well, but also to make it more difficult for people who have been blocked to come back, as only one specific mobile phone number can be used for one account.

So the blocked people have to set up another number if they want to be able to create a new account. Blizzard also wrote that certain types of numbers will not be used, including debit card numbers and VOIP numbers. This last requirement has bothered some, as it seems that many will not be able to play the game. However, it does not seem entirely clear whether this really applies to all numbers of prepaid cards, or only to some operators.

Monitor 2 Released on October 4th.
