Blizzard Entertainment, the powerhouse behind iconic games like World of Warcraft and Overwatch, welcomes players worldwide. But what if you’d rather skip the phone number verification step when creating your Blizzard account? Fear not, adventurer! This guide will equip you with alternative methods to embark on your Blizzard journey.
Does Blizzard requires a phone number when a new account is created?
In the past, Blizzard required a phone number for all new accounts. They faced criticism for this policy, particularly with the launch of Overwatch 2. Now, existing players with accounts created before June 9th, 2021 do not need a phone number to play. For new accounts, Blizzard has removed the phone number requirement for a majority of users. However, there might still be situations where Blizzard requires phone verification for new accounts. If Blizzard detects suspicious activity during account creation, they might request phone verification for additional security. Phone verification might still be necessary for account creation in some specific regions.
How to make a Blizzard account without a phone number?
There are several options you can use to verify your phone number, depending on the service or platform you are trying to use. Here are some common verification methods:
Email verification
Some platforms may allow you to verify your phone number by sending a verification link to your email address. You would click on the link to confirm your phone number.
Mobile app verification
Some services may require you to download their mobile app and verify your phone number through the app. This can include additional steps such as providing access to your contacts or camera.
ID verification
In addition to the above two verifications, the last one is ID verification, which may require you to upload a photo of your ID card or passport to some platforms, especially those with severe identity verification standards. But this can also vary depending on the platform you use and the nation you are in.
