Blizzard Battle.net

Softonic review

All-in-one platform for Blizzard games

Blizzard Battle.net or just Battle.net is a free-to-use gaming utility by renowned developer Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. This software is an all-in-one platform for all of Blizzard’s games, which includes FPS games like Overwatch, Overwatch 2, and Call of Duty: Warzone; RPG games like World of Warcraft and Diablo III.

Blizzard Battle.net is a program that functions as a one-stop shop for all Blizzard games. Moreover, it allows players to connect with their friends easily. It features customizable profiles, chats, groups, voice chat, and real-time status updates. It also makes shopping for games and digital goodies convenient.

Improved layout and accessibility

Battle.net is an old program, launched in 1996 with the release of the hit video game Diablo. It has been updated several times since then but for a span of eight years, the software remained the same. Today, its layout has been redesigned — featuring a clean and streamlined user interface that allows you to easily see what your friends are playing.

Like Steam, this program provides players with easy access to all their favorite games, except it’s exclusive to Blizzard’s titles. With this platform, you can conveniently browse Blizzard’s catalog, buy the games you like, add them to your library, and install them on your device. Launching your games is made easier and they will be automatically updated when you have an internet connection.

This video game platform also delivers curated news regarding Blizzard’s games, events, merchandise, and everything else involving the developer. Players will always be up to date with new updates and game releases. The application has been made more accessible, allowing users to navigate it using only a keyboard. However, this program cannot solve problems players may encounter in individual games.

Do you need to install it?

If you’re not a fan of Battle.net but would still love to play some of Blizzard’s games, you have no choice but to install this application. Blizzard’s games require players to create a Battle.net account and install the program before they can start playing. Having an option to install games without the platform would be nice, but the program’s features are useful enough to warrant an installation.
