New Call of Duty: Warzone<\/em><\/a> players on PC will now have to go through two-factor authentication via text messaging when they log in to play. To be clear, CoD<\/em> developer Infinity Ward has rolled out the additional security measure for those playing on the free-to-play client and not those accessing the battle royale game via Modern Warfare<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Security Update: We have initiated two-step SMS authentication for new #<\/span>Warzone<\/span><\/a> PC users, who log in as free to play as another step to provide an additional layer of security for players.<\/p>\n

In its announcement tweet, the company said the feature is meant to provide PC gamers with “an additional layer of security” — PlayStation and Xbox players already have their platforms’ two-factor verification system to protect them, after all. As the responses to the tweet and GameSpot<\/em><\/a> suggest, though, the developer could’ve also implemented the feature to thin out cheaters by preventing their bots from being able to log in.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Warzone<\/em> enjoyed a meteoric rise in popularity and topped<\/a> 50 million players merely a month after launch. Infinity Ward narrative director, Taylor Kurosaki, said in an interview<\/a> that it will be the “throughline that connects all of the different various sub-franchises of Call of Duty<\/em>” in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
