Overwatch 2has finally made it to Steam and it’s fair to say the reaction has been mixed.
However, there’s one good thing that has come from all this.
Bye bye Battle.net
Actually, I’m going to say two.
Being on Steam is justbetter.
It’s better for PC players in general, and it’s definitely better forSteam Deckowners.
Bye bye Battle.net
Say goodbye to Battle.net
Here’s the deal.
Overwatch 2 being on Steam means one less reason to have an extra launcher installed in Battle.net.
You don’t need it.
Overwatch 2 performs pretty well on Steam Deck.
you might either enter a code in a web online window, or you might scan a QR code.
Simple, effective, and it’ll merge your two accounts together.
set up the game through Steam and have one less headache.
But as on a desktop, it involved getting the Battle.net client installed.
And who knows, maybe Blizzard will even see an uptick in players.
It plays really well, too.
You’ll get some jank while the shaders are getting figured out.
The fix for this is to switch to Proton Experimental, then all works well.
Performance on the whole is excellent though.
Whether you should play it or not is a different question entirely.
