Overwatch 2 Expands to Steam Platform

Blizzard Entertainment has revealed that its popular hero shooter, Overwatch 2, will be launching on Steam. Previously exclusive to Battle.net, the game's PC version will become available on Valve's platform starting August 10. According to Blizzard President Mike Ybarra, this move is a response to the changing dynamics of the gaming industry. "The gaming industry has undergone significant changes since Battle.net was launched over twenty years ago. What was once a niche hobby catering to specific communities has now become a mainstream form of entertainment, accessible to everyone. While we remain committed to supporting and investing in Battle.net, our goal is to remove barriers and make our games more easily accessible to players worldwide." The availability of Overwatch 2 on Steam will not affect its presence on Battle.net. To play the game on Valve's platform, users will still need to link it to a Battle.net account. Furthermore, Blizzard has announced plans to bring a selection of its games to Steam in the future.
