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.

      Not sure where you get that information from, but the Steam Overwatch store page clearly says this:

      Internet connection and Battle.net® Account required to play. A mobile phone number must be linked to your Battle.net® Account to play Overwatch® 2.

        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.

          ok, looks like we are talking two different things here…

          Whether it requires a launcher looks to be possibly not the case; however, it still uses battle.net and requires a battle.net account / login
