Blizzard, which has many popular productions among the players, has been selling its own platform Battle.net for many years. The company announced that it will give up this habit today and made a statement that will make the players happy.
Blizzard announced in its blog post that it will bring some of its games to Steam, the world’s most popular gaming platform. The first game to come to Steam has also been announced.
Overwatch 2 will be the first game to come to Steam
The first production to come to Steam will be the popular FPS genre game Overwatch 2. According to Blizzard’s statement, users will be able to access the game on Steam as of August 10, 2023. Let’s emphasize that players here will need to link Overwatch 2 to their Battle.net account again. However, they will still be able to access what Steam provides, such as friend lists and achievements.
In a statement, Blizzard stated that they made such a move because they wanted to “break down barriers” and enable players from all over the world to reach their games. The company did not pass without adding that it will continue its investments in Battle.net.
Although the game giant told Steam that a certain number of Blizzard games will come, it did not reveal the names of the games other than Overwatch 2. The company says it will announce other games when the time comes.
It should be noted that it is not surprising that Overwatch 2 is the first game to come to the platform. Activision Blizzard shared a report on the past quarter today. This report revealed that player participation in Overwatch 2 was declining.
