Fixing the One or More Warzone DLC Packs are Out of Date Error in Call of Duty Warzone 2
Usually, you’ll get the “one or more Warzone DLC packs are out of date” error when a new Call of Duty season rolls around. I’ve experienced this error at the start of every season starting in season three and we’re now on season six.
In order to fix this error, make sure to check if Call of Duty: Warzone 2 has all the packs it needs or if there is an update. Install the related update/and or pack which will likely appear and boot up the game again — this should fix the error for you.
I’ve preinstalled the new Call of Duty season before and still end up getting this particular error. It’s an annoying bug that keeps me from jumping right into DMZ or Warzone. If you’re in this same boat, there are a few fixes you can try.
I have listed below different ways you can check for updates on various platforms; I wouldn’t want you to spend any more time trying to fix this issue!
- PlayStation: Press the options button when hovering over Call of Duty: Warzone 2 on the home screen and press “Check for Update”. You can also select “Manage Game Content” instead to check you have all the Warzone packs.
- Xbox: Go to your console settings, navigate to the System section, and then “Updates”. Make sure that all of your automatic updates are on and try to launch Warzone 2 again. You can also press the menu button when on the game to manage the game content and check you have all the packs.
- Steam: Navigate to where Warzone 2 is and then right-click on the game. Go to the Properties, then “Updates”. Make sure that automatic updates are turned on and try to launch the game again.

As CharlieIntel says on Twitter, you need to download the Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer pack, Co-op pack, and Warzone pack to play Warzone 2 and DMZ. To do this, I didn’t need to buy Modern Warfare 2 — I simply selected Modern Warfare 2 and selected to download the Multiplayer and Co-op packs which can be done for free.
If none of that seems to be working for fixing the error, there is a possibility it is on the developer side and it has happened before. This is where you will likely have to wait for a fix to go out by the development team before it is fully fixed. Nonetheless, you shouldn’t have to wait too long to get past the error generally.
I have also found another way to kickstart the fix to the issue. In order to do this, close the game and then try to open it again. With some luck, you should get an update file start to download even if you had already downloaded the presumed update before you entered the game.
Worst comes to worst, go to “Manage Game Content” on your device and delete the Warzone 2 pack. Then, redownload it and you should be good to go. This’ll take more time than you’d likely like to spend, but at least it’s a solution.
Is the “One or More Warzone DLC Packs are Out of Date” Error Common?
This error will commonly only happen if you haven’t got the related Warzone 2 game packs or haven’t updated the game to the latest version. These both would mean that you wouldn’t have the latest parts of Warzone appropriately installed. It also happens quite commonly at the start of the new season, for example, it has happened during Season 04 and Season 05.
