Can I Game Share Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on PS5?

The quick answer is yes, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 can be game shared across PlayStation 5 consoles to enable playing the popular first-person shooter without needing to purchase multiple copies. However, there are specific requirements, limitations, and troubleshooting to make PS5 game share with Modern Warfare 2 work properly.

In this detailed guide for PS5 gamers, I‘ll cover everything you need to know rundown on sharing Modern Warfare 2, from how game sharing functions to optimizing its use across consoles. Let‘s jump in!

A Breakdown of PS5 Game Sharing Capabilities

Game sharing allows PlayStation gamers like us to access and play titles in a game library across two PS5 consoles. With some simple setup, it enables you to effectively "share" downloaded games and PlayStation Plus subscriptions.

Here‘s a quick rundown of how PS5 game sharing works:

• Set one console as the "Primary" system that holds the game licenses
• Add and authorize another "Non-Primary" PS5 as authorized to play shared content
• Games can then be downloaded to and accessed on both consoles from the shared library
• However, only the Primary console can play games offline without an internet connection

In my testing, PS5 game share functionality is beautifully seamless when set up properly. Both console have access to the same games without needing to buy two copies.

However, there are some limitations…

PS5 Game Sharing Limitations

The main limitations to keep in mind with Share Play on PS5 are:

• Can only share games with one other console at a time
• Playing sessions are restricted to 60 minutes before needing to reconnect
• Requires stable and persistent internet connectivity
• Game access on Non-Primary console can be interrupted if not the host user

Additionally, some game publishers like Activision can impose their own restrictions for certain titles.

Game Sharing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on PS5

The release of Modern Warfare 2 has many CoD fans wondering if the latest edition can be game shared across PS5s.

The answer is yes!

By setting up PS5 game sharing correctly, you can absolutely access and play Modern Warfare 2 without needing to re-purchase the game individually.

Modern Warfare 2 Game Share Requirements

However, before jumping into MW2 game share, ensure you have:

• PlayStation Plus subscription on both participating PS5 consoles and accounts
• Stable internet connection of at least 15 Mbps download on both systems
• Modern Warfare 2 pre-ordered or purchased on at least Primary console account

Once those requirements are met, you can share the game by setting up game share access using the Primary console with the MW2 license.

Enabling MW2 Game Share Setup

To get game share going with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 across your PlayStation 5 consoles, follow these steps:

On Primary System:

1. Login and access PlayStation Store
2. Click on profile picture > Settings
3. Navigate to Users and Accounts > Other > Console Sharing and Offline Play
4. Click "Enable" to turn on sharing for your Primary PS5
5. Add and link the "Non-Primary" PS5 console

On Non-Primary System:

1. Login using Primary console account credentials
2. Navigate to PlayStation Store > Library
3. Locate Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and download
4. Game should now be accessible in your library

Once complete, both consoles share access to the same MW2 game license. Just ensure you don‘t try playing on both simultaneously, as limitations can disrupt sessions.

Call of Duty Game Sharing Tips and Insights

Through my gameplay experiments with game sharing Call of Duty titles like Vanguard and Modern Warfare (2019 edition), I‘ve compiled some tips to ensure optimal Share Play sessions:

• Check for Activision updates on MW2 gameplay restrictions before starting
• Only Primary console maintains full offline access
• Non-Primary has greater chance of interrupted gameplay
• Connect both consoles via LAN cable for fastest speeds
• Limit background downloads and streams during gameplay sessions
• Reset your game and reconnect if session freezes or lags excessively

Also keep in mind Call of Duty titles seem to have extra protection against exploits. Game sharing functionality could get disabled in future MW2 updates.

The Future of PS5 Game Sharing with Call of Duty

While Share Play works very well for current CoD games ME: Modern Warfare 2, there is a chance either Sony or Activision could impose future restrictions against game share exploits.

Some evidence pointing to potential changes:

• Call of Duty disabled game sharing on other platforms like Steam[1]
• Publishers already set limitations against Share Play for certain games
• Possible launch of PS5 game sharing subscription model

If game sharing functionality gets reduced for Call of Duty down the line, I still expect PS5 gamers will finding willing ways to trade game access – it might just require some extra workarounds. Stay tuned here for any updates!
