How To Add Phone Number For Overwatch 2 : Overwatch 2 will soon be free-to-play, but you’ll need a phone number to play. This is part of Blizzard’s SMS protect program, which is meant to stop “disruptive in-game behavior” for OW2.

When OW2 comes out in October, only the PvP mode will be available because the story mode hasn’t been given a date yet. Again, everyone will be able to play it for free, but owners of the first game will get an extra Founder’s Pack.

In just a few days, you’ll be able to pre-download the game, but to play it, you’ll need to add your phone number to your Battle.net account.

Blizzard’s ‘Defense Matrix’ will help verify account ownership if a profile is compromised and make it harder for banned or suspended players to return.

Players can only use a phone number once, making it harder to return. It’s not usable for multiple profiles.

OW2 on PS4, Xbox One, or PC requires a mobile device connected to Battle.net. Whether you owned the original game is irrelevant.
