Ahead of merging with Microsoft, Blizzard made the decision to start bringing its games over to Steam, ending years of Battle.net launcher exclusivity. We've already seen Overwatch 2 and Diablo IV debut on Valve's PC gaming platform, and now, it looks like Hearthstone will be up next.
Outofgames did some data mining following Hearthstone's latest update and found strings of code directly referencing Steam, an account linking feature and an achievement syncing feature, so any achievements you've unlocked previously will also unlock on the Steam version of the game.
This would be the third major game of Blizzard's to land on Steam, although an announcement isn't expected until 2024 at this stage.
This news follows on from new Hearthstone updates at BlizzCon, during which the studio confirmed plans to introduce ‘catch-up' packs for new or returning players to get back into the game, as well as a new expansion set called Showdown in the Badlands.
KitGuru Says: Hearthstone appears to be heading to Steam. Will this bring you back in, or even get you to try Hearthstone for the first time?
