Blizzard eventually removed Overwatch 2's phone requirement for folks who'd played Overwatch 1, but it remains in place for those coming to it fresh. As we reported on last week, PC players will also need to register a phone number before they can start playing - something many Overwatch 2 players ran into trouble with during its troubled launch period. Unfortunately, there's an extra wrinkle for PC players of this year's Modern Warfare 2 release. It was a similar story for Cold War the year before, with the total download size for the ultra graphics pack coming to 125GB, or 82GB for the full game without it. Last year's Vanguard had a download size of 61GB for both multiplayer and the campaign - but those after the high resolution assets pack for playing in 4K had to find room for a whopping 125GB of free space.
