Blizzard Entertainment, the mastermind behind games like Diablo and Warcraft, is about to unleash its magnificence on a whole new platform. Brace yourselves, fellow gamers, because Blizzard is bringing Overwatch 2 to none other than Steam! Yep, you heard that right!
Up until now, if you wanted to play Blizzard’s PC games, you had to go through the Battle.net hoopla. But with Microsoft swooping in for the glorious acquisition of Activision Blizzard and the player engagement in Overwatch 2 hitting a bit of a slump, it seems Blizzard is shaking things up.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. “Overwatch 2 on Steam? Is this a dream?!” No, my friend, it is very real and incredibly exciting. Blizzard has recognized the importance of meeting players where they are and making their games as accessible as possible. And let’s be honest, Steam is like gaming paradise with its 132 million monthly active users in 2021. It’s the perfect place to show off the awesomeness of Overwatch 2.
But wait, there’s more! Blizzard isn’t simply abandoning Battle.net in favor of Steam. Nah, they’re just expanding their horizons because they want everyone to experience their incredible games. They’re breaking down barriers and making it easier for players worldwide to find and enjoy their masterpieces. It’s like an open invitation to a legendary gaming party, and you’re on the VIP list!
Now, as much as we can’t wait to dive into Overwatch 2 on Steam, there’s a tiny catch. You’ll still need a trusty Battle.net account connected to the game. Don’t worry, though; Steam is going to make your experience even better with achievements and friends lists specifically designed for all you Steam enthusiasts out there. And who knows? Maybe, just maybe, we’ll get some Steam Deck support in the future. Fingers crossed!
