Blizzard is bringing a selection of its games to Steam, starting with Overwatch 2

Blizzard has announced that it will be bringing select games to Steam, starting with surveillance 2.

You can get Overwatch 2 from Steam starting August 10.

As a team-based free-to-play title, Blizzard said the game is “the perfect title” for the studio’s debut on the platform.

“Our goal at Blizzard is to listen to players and try to exceed their expectations in everything we do.” said mike ybarra, President of Blizzard Entertainment. “While Battle.net remains a priority for us now and in the future, we’ve heard that players want to choose Steam for a selection of our games. We’re happy to work with Valve to make that happen.”

It’s worth noting that Overwatch 2’s presence on Steam adds to Battle.net. This will allow the community that already accesses the game through the service to play as they have without any changes.

This means that Steam players will still need to connect Overwatch 2 to a Battle.net account, as is required for all platforms. Players using Steam will have access to features such as Steam Achievements, their Steam Friends list, and the ability to invite them to play in-game.

Blizzard said it will share more about possible other games coming to the platform “when the time is right.”

The Overwatch 2 Steam Page is live nowand is available on the wish list.
