The COD MW2 and Warzone 2.0 January 20 Patch is a bug-fix focused update as Infinity Ward and Activision prepare for Season 2.
Patch 1.13 doesn’t include any new content drops or changes to in-game functionality but works on improving the overall stability of the game. The January 20 update finally includes a fix for the battle pass bug that caused the game to freeze or crash unexpectedly. Also, an option that highlights unspent Battle Pass tokens has been added. Players can expect a much more stable Warzone experience as the surprise update prioritizes stability and deploys crash fixes for a list of available platforms.
The first COD patch of 2023 finds it’s footing by working on the issues that players have been complaining about since the beginning of Season 1. With the last update that hit servers on December 19, Activision’s dev team prepares for deploying a variety of new content after returning from their extended holiday break. After delaying the Season 2 patch to February 15, Infinity Ward is looking on fixing the existing issues with the game before making new maps, and weapons available for both MW2 and Warzone.
