surveillance 2 it will finally arrive on October 4 as a free game. To make sure you get into action as soon as the game is released (well, as long as the servers hold), you can pre-install the game. It’s worth noting that only returning players and those who bought the surveillance 2 surveillance package you can download it in advance. Newcomers will have to wait until launch.
First, let’s go over how to connect a mobile phone number to your Battle.net account, which is required to play. surveillance 2.
How to set up SMS Protect for ‘Overwatch 2’
One of the key talking points on surveillance 2 is the fact that all players will need connect an eligible mobile number to his account. That is already proving controversial. Players with secondary accounts will no longer be able to use them unless they have access to other valid mobile numbers (pro tip: ask your friends or family very nicely).
Also, some players are finding that Blizzard’s system doesn’t accept their phone number, which isn’t very good. Blizzard says that prepaid and VOIP numbers aren’t eligible, for one thing. Also note that you can only use a phone number with a country code that matches the country of your Blizzard account.
It may be worth setting up SMS Protect before installing surveillance 2, since you’ll have to do that before you can play anyway. To do this, access the Account details section from your Battle.net settings and enter your full phone number in the phone section.
After doing that and pressing Continue, you will receive an SMS message with a verification code. Enter this into Battle.net and click or tap Continue to complete the process.
By the way, if you are interested in learning more about SMS Protect, I interviewed surveillance 2 developers about that and other aspects of their plan to mitigate cheating and toxicity. You can read about it here:
