The Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 is a free-to-play battle royale mode for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II videogame.
You will be able to download this component separately from the main game. By doing so, you will save a lot of space on the solid state drive as you don’t have to keep the other parts of Modern Warfare 2 installed. Not to mention that you don’t actually have to own the main game in order to play Warzone 2.0.
With that said, the process can be a little bit confusing on the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition systems if you aren’t familiar with navigating through the cumbersome PlayStation Store App. To find out how you can properly do so, you can take a look at this step-by-step tutorial from Seeking Tech.
1. To start off, turn on your Sony game console and then sign into your PlayStation Network account if you haven’t done so already.
2. You should now be in the home screen menu. This is where you can select which game to start up.
3. From the home screen, you need to open the PlayStation Store App.
4. In the PlayStation Store, you need to go to the product page for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II.
If you can’t find the game, then you can use the search bar on the top right side of the store.
Keep in mind that Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 won’t show up on any listings or search result pages. Instead, you need to visit the product page for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 first.
5. Once you get to the product page for the main game, scroll down until you see the Choose Edition section. From there, you need to select Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0.
Alternatively, you can select the three dots icon on the product page for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. In the pop-up menu, you then need to select Call of Duty: Warzone 2.
6. After getting to the product page of Call of Duty: Warzone 2, you need to select the Download option.
7. In the Downloads menu, select the Download PS5 Version on the right side of the screen. On the following Select Add-Ons to Install screen, make sure that the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II – Warzone 2 Add-On is selected and then select the Install option on the bottom right side of the screen.
Alternatively, you can also download the PS5 versions of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II – Warzone 2 Add-On separately.
Avoid downloading the PS4 versions of the main game as well as the free-to-play battle royale mode; otherwise, you won’t get all the enhancements of playing the native PS5 version.
8. Wait for both the main game and Warzone 2.0 add-on to be downloaded and installed on to the SSD.
9. Once the installation for the two components have been completed, you should be able to start playing Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0.
