After announcing at GamesCom that The Witcher 3’s upcoming remastered version would release on Battle.net as well as the expected platforms, Blizzard and CD Projekt have announced at BlizzCon that Cyberpunk 2077 and its expansion will release there later this year. They’ll be joining other non-Blizzard games everyone forgets are available on Battle.net like Sea of Thieves, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, and The Outer Worlds 2.
Diablo 2 Resurrected, Diablo 4, and Overwatch remain the only Blizzard games available on Steam. The original Diablo is still on GOG, though the first two Warcraft games were pulled from that storefront when they were remastered a couple of years ago.
