They decided to remove the phone number policy! they just posted a new announcement with the details
“ We designed Overwatch 2 to be a live service, which enables us to be responsive to a variety of player feedback. We have made the decision to remove phone number requirements for a majority of existing Overwatch players. Any Overwatch player with a connected Battle.net account, which includes all players who have played since June 9, 2021, will not have to provide a phone number to play. We are working to make this change and expect it to go live on Friday, October 7. We will update players once it is in effect.”
yeah that’s still good! bc majority of the players that couldn’t play bc of it were OG players, so atleast with this it will still stop the smurfing accounts
but what about people who are on phone services like Cricket? will they still be allowed to play or is it gonna be a “just stop being poor” moment from the overwatch team?
sorry i accidentally deleted my post (i dont go on the forums very often lmao) but the people that i know that got this game this year cant attach their phone number to their account nor can they play
