Cyberpunk 2077 is heading to Battle.net
Blizzard's launcher keeps collecting other people's games, and now Geralt is swinging a barbarian axe in Diablo 4.
In brief
Blizzard's launcher keeps collecting other people's games, and now Geralt is swinging a barbarian axe in Diablo 4. Blizzard would rather import CD Projekt's catalogue into Battle.net than put its own classics where players already are. Originally reported by PC Gamer.
The wrong way round
Blizzard classics still aren't on Steam, so no easy Steam Deck play. What we get instead is Cyberpunk 2077 arriving on Battle.net.
“Wouldn't it be nice if more of Blizzard's classic games were available on Steam?”
Announced at BlizzCon
Blizzard and CD Projekt confirmed Cyberpunk 2077 and its expansion land on Battle.net later this year. It follows the Witcher 3 remaster news from GamesCom.
The launcher nobody browses
Cyberpunk joins a shelf of third-party games most people forget are on Battle.net, like Sea of Thieves, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4, and The Outer Worlds 2.
Blizzard's own Steam problem
Only Diablo 2 Resurrected, Diablo 4, and Overwatch are on Steam. The original Diablo sits on GOG, and the first two Warcraft games were pulled after their remasters.
Geralt joins the barbarians
A Geralt skin for Diablo 4's barbarian goes to anyone who prepurchases the Witcher 3 DLC Songs of the Past on Battle.net. More Witcher content is promised for 2027.
“more "Witcher-themed content" threatened for 2027”
Edgerunners hits Overwatch
Next year brings Edgerunners cosmetics to Overwatch, timed to the show's second season. Netflix premieres it on October 20.
What to remember
Blizzard would rather import CD Projekt's catalogue into Battle.net than put its own classics where players already are.
