The New Release of Overwatch 2 Blizzard will require you to link your phone number to your Overwatch 2 account
Ahead of the release of Overwatch 2, Blizzard talked about how it plans to ensure fair and positive gameplay and counter toxicity and abuse. The set of measures was called Defense Matrix, “Protection Matrix”.
Starting October 4, all players on all platforms, including consoles, will need to link a unique mobile phone number to their Battle.net account in order to launch Overwatch 2. However, you will not be able to use certain types of numbers, including prepaid and VOIP numbers.

Those players who have a boxed version of the original Overwatch will also have to activate SMS Protect.
Voice chats will be monitored in Overwatch 2, and speech will be automatically transcribed to text and checked for insults and obscene language using converters. Reporting disruptive behavior in voice chat is a good idea as all entries are deleted after 30 days.
For new players, certain modes and heroes will be initially closed, as well as other restrictions will be introduced in order to gradually adapt to the game. It will take approximately 100 matches to unlock all of the original Overwatch heroes. To access the competitive mode, you need to win 50 matches in the quick game mode.

All modes in Overwatch 2 will be removed from the level of the player, and before competitive matches will not show the skill levels of the participants. And now only the players of their team will be allowed to praise.
Also, the general chat will be completely removed from the game. The developers decided that it does not bring anything other than toxicity, and the main mechanics of the game will not suffer from its absence.
Overwatch 2 enters Early Access on October 4th. The game will be available for free on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch.
