How To Fix Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer Not Working on PS4/PS5?
Try the solutions listed for COD Modern Warfare not working, test them one by one, and ensure a stable internet connection.
1. Check Modern Warfare 2 Servers
Check the COD: Modern Warfare 2 server status on the official page. If the server is up, but you’re having issues, it might be a random problem. Watch COD’s social media like Twitter for updates on server issues and fixes by Infinity Ward.
2. Disband and Rehost Your Party
To fix the COD: Modern Warfare 2 not working problem while matchmaking, Reddit players have suggested leaving and disbanding the party, then rehosting it.
- Start the game and go to the main menu.
- Choose “Multiplayer” and select “Create a Party.”
- Invite friends to the party and start the game.
- Once the game starts, go to the main menu and select “Leave Party.”
- Disband the party and rehost it.
- Start the game again, and you should be able to join online matches without any issues.
- If this method doesn’t work, try hosting the party with a different player.
3. Launch the game through its dedicated launcher
You can try launching the game separately if the game isn’t allowing you to access the multiplayer mode since you launched it using the Cold War launcher. This problem has affected Call of Duty: Cold War players ever since Activision included Modern Warfare Multiplayer and Warzone.
Hence, if necessary, try launching the game separately depending on the platform you’re using to play. Avoid launching the Modern Warfare game from the Cold War launcher and do it instead by launching it from its own dedicated launcher.
- Launch COD: Modern Warfare on your PS4 and PS5 from its specific list of games rather than the Cold War interface.
4. Clear the cache
In certain situations, stored cache files with defective or damaged data might even make your gaming system believe that you don’t own the multiplayer feature or perhaps the whole game so it not works. You could try deleting the cache on your gaming system to fix this. For PS4 and PS5, follow these instructions to delete the cache files.
