Call of duty: black ops 4 would turn its back on steam according to latest reports

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is the next installment in the quintessential war franchise, a title that has already been controversial before hitting the market. We first learned that the new game will not feature a single-player campaign, and now it comes to light that it might be exclusive to Battle.net and not make it to Steam.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will bet on Battle.net for cross play with PS4 and Xbox One

Battle.net is Activision / Blizzard's digital game store, a platform that is also home to Destiny 2, Overwatch, Diablo 3 and a few others. According to a report, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 would be the new exclusivity to try to give a boost to this digital gaming platform. It appears that Activision is interested in ensuring that its future games are on its own platform rather than sharing revenue with Valve. Another important reason would be that the functionality of cross-play is being tested on Battle.net with PS4 and Xbox One players, something that Steam does not offer at the moment.

The latest reports claim that developer Treyarch is focusing on making this the best PC port since Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 so that people don't get so mad at the switch from the popular Steam distribution service to Battle..net. The QA team in charge of the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 PC bugs would be a dedicated unit as they are putting all the meat on the grill with the PC version.

For now, we should take this information with caution, until Activision and Treyarch officially announce the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 on May 17.
