The publisher of Overwatch, Blizzard Entertainment, has released news about the confirmation of linking mobile numbers to their accounts for playing the game. Overwatch players across all the platforms need to link their phone nos. to their Battle net accounts.
To ensure the safety of players and to recognize suspicious account activity, overwatch is receiving a complete renovation to its online base.
To achieve this goal, Blizzard entertainment has taken two crucial steps towards this way and those are-

SMS protection gives the players extra safety because it will remove the possibility of creating an account without the presence of your mobile number and it will also not allow players to add an extra layer of protection through mobile number verification.
One mobile number will be used for just one player and it will be used just once while making a new account.
The older players who were part of Overwatch series 1, shall also need to activate the SMS protection to enjoy the Overwatch 2 game.
FTUE or First Time User Experience, for those who have never been exposed to Overwatch gaming, this feature is specifically for them.
This will help the new players in their gradual learning about the game like understanding the limited number of modes of this game, the heroes of the game, and other restrictions related to Overwatch. Essentially, this means that 100 matches have to be played by the new players to unlock all of the original heroes.
