Overwatch 2 is the first game headed to Steam and will be available to play through the client starting August 10. While players won’t need to download Battle.net to play Overwatch 2, they will still need a Battle.net account to sync to their profile, same as Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch users. Once a player creates a Battle.net account, they will we have access to Overwatch 2’s cross-platform play and more. Players using Steam will have access to Steam achievements, their Steam friends list, and other Steam features while playing.
As of right now, Overwatch 2 is the only Blizzard title that has been formally announced for Steam. In the official press release shared by Blizzard, the company stated it will reveal additional titles coming to Steam “when the time is right.” Considering Diablo IV’s recent release, it seems likely that Blizzard could be eyeing the game as another hit title to bring over to Steam. Blizzard’s long-running MMO, World of Warcraft, would also be a major addition to Steam’s library.
More is coming to Steam.
