Warzone 2 Glitch Locks Players Out, Asks Them to Buy Modern Warfare 2

Several Call of Duty: Warzone 2 players have been locked out of the game after a glitch demands they first buy Modern Warfare 2, even if they already own it.

As reported by PC Gamer, the glitch seemingly arrived as developer Infinity Ward administered a hotfix for another issue with the free-to-play game, as even players who’ve logged hours of play-time have been locked out.

There is currently no known solution for the issue and neither Infinity Ward or publisher Activision Blizzard have acknowledged it.

Purchasing Modern Warfare 2 doesn’t work either, as players who’ve owned the game since its launch in October are also locked out. While the two games use the same launcher, Warzone 2 is its own, standalone experience that shouldn’t require any other purchases to play fully.
