Battle.net has been a huge part of our history since 1996. We’re proud of how it’s helped people connect and play Activision Blizzard games together quickly and easily. With the latest release, we want to welcome players of all ability levels and make sure they have a smooth time navigating the app on PC.

Those of you who’ve been participating in the beta are already familiar with these updates. For everyone else, you’ll see some major changes when your client’s patched from the live version of Battle.net to the new version:

·      Improved navigation and layout—you can now favorite your games and arrange them for ease of access

·      A much more expansive layout for news and game content in full-page view

·      A revamped social pane so you can better see your friends and what they’re up to on each game tab

·      Major accessibility improvements—we’ve added the ability to navigate most of the app with your keyboard, increased our screen reader support, and improved the color contrast

·      A new, consolidated notifications hub for messages and download status

This is just the beginning of new features coming to Battle.net; we’ll keep iterating, improving, and adding to the app over time. We’d love to hear your feedback once you’ve spent some time with the new app, and you can share your thoughts on the forums.

Go play some games and have fun!
