The redemption ofActivision-Blizzard by Microsoft is about to finally come to an end, and that will allow a lot of things to happen. Good, the call of duty will stay on playstationbut even on the computer side, there will be changes, with the arrival of titles on other platforms.
Currently, games Blizzard are exclusively available on Battle.neta client that also welcomes the titles ofActivision. But that will soon change, as announced by the American studio in a post on its blog. The games of Blizzard are going to disembark on Steamstarting with Overwatch 2 on August 10, 2023. Players will be able to discover the FPS free-to-play via a new client, obviously with cross play. Anyway, run OW2 on Steam will still ask to log in to an account Battle.netbut players will be able to find on the platform of Valve of the Hit and their list of friends. And for users of Battle.net, it won’t change anything. Mike Ybarra, President of Blizzard Entertainmentsays:
At Blizzard, we aim to listen to players and try to exceed their expectations in everything we do. Although Battle.net remains a priority for us, now and in the future, we understood that gamers wanted to be able to use Steam to play some of our games, and that will start with Overwatch 2, August 10. We’re excited to work with Valve to make this possible.
Gabe Newell, President of Valveadds:
Players and developers will all benefit from the arrival of Overwatch 2 on Steam. People who play will have another platform to do so, where it will be possible to play a game that is dear to them and that takes advantage of the features of Steamand developers will be able to benefit from the presence of the talented team at Blizzard, who will help us evolve the features and functionalities supported for Overwatch 2.
For Blizzardthe idea is obviously toattract new players, who will be able to discover the cooperative mode PvE Invasionvery different from the original promise, which will be added with other novelties at the same time as the launch of the Season 6, also on August 10. You can find prepaid cards Battle.net at the house of Micromania.
