Error: an update is required. You must be signed in to PlayStation Network and accept the update to play

I've checked everywhere there's no update. Other games work no problem. I tried to reinstall the game as well. Not sure what's going on here.

Screenshots below.

Mine was doing the exact same thing. Go to your settings menu and then go to users and accounts. Then check and make sure your e-mail has been verified. I just did that, then restarted. Now I can play the campaign.

My email hasn’t changed since I created my account years ago, and it’s a verified email. I’m still not able to play and it’s bugging me.

Have you managed to sort this?

I'm in the same position. Verified my PSN account, signed in on PS5, everything is updated + system is updated and still I get this message "An update is required. You must be signed into PlayStation Network and accept the update to play Call of Duty".....

We received the same message

Just for shits and giggles, reboot your modem.

In order to fix that problem you need to do the following, quick back story, today I bought a PS5, I attached my PS4 external to play MW2, as soon as the game booted up I recieved the same error message. Use the following steps to play the game
Settings, Users and accounts, other, Restore Licences
Once it restores licenses a update will occur and the game will then go through a series of updates and enjoy.

Literally made a account to this page to give this write up lol hope this helps everyone
