Not long after Overwatch 2 released on Steam, we now have Diablo 4 confirmed to be launching on Steam making it easier than ever to play on Steam Deck and desktop Linux.

Another Blizzard game is coming to Steam. I cannot wait until WoW is available so I do not need to use the battle.net client.

    Overwatch on Steam does not require b.net, so I do not see why it wouldn’t be the case with their other titles.

    I do agree with having to repurchase. I don’t really play D4, so I might just wait for a big sale if I do go with a repurchase.

        Probably not. I only got thru the first act, game just isn’t for me.

        Not sure where you get that information from

        Probably from playing it themself. Nowhere in the text you linked is stated that you need the client. Only a valid account and internet.

        So no, Overwatch 2 on Steam doesn’t require a secondary launcher. Source: me, I play it on Steam.

        Battle.net Account != Requiring the Battle.net client.

        I’m not the biggest fan of Blizzard/Activision right now because of the shit-show with D4, but OW2 doesn’t require the Battle.net client which is very clear if you just install and run the game.
