How to pre-load Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0
Even though Warzone 2.0 is part of Modern Warfare 2, you don’t need to purchase Modern Warfare 2 to download and play Warzone 2.0. The title is a free-to-play battle royale game, meaning you shouldn’t need to spend a cent on it. Pre-loads for the title went live on the night of November 14. Search for Warzone 2.0 on Steam, Battle.net, PlayStation Store, or Microsoft Store to start pre-downloading the game. If you already have Modern Warfare 2 bought and downloaded, then Warzone 2.0 should have already started pre-loading if your console or PC has the space.
