Overwatch, WoW and others to be streamed on Facebook soon? Blizzard is collaborating with the social network.
Will Overwatch be streamed on Facebook soon?
In recent years, social networks have become indispensable in our lives, especially for gamers who spend a large part of their free time online and use it to stay connected with their friends – both from their physical surroundings and their virtual environment. This is exactly where Blizzard and Facebook are stepping in to work together to combine the benefits of both “services”.
In a press release, Blizzard has announced that in the future, it will be possible to register with the Facebook account for World of Warcraft, Diablo 3, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, StarCraft 2, and Overwatch, and then log into the game as well. But this is just the beginning of the collaboration; later, more features will follow, such as the ability to stream games directly on Facebook and share particularly outstanding moments with friends all over the world.
“Blizzard games are best when played with friends, so it’s important for us to provide players with features that make it easy to share their experiences with others. (…) We are working closely with Facebook to make this integration possible for Overwatch and our other games and look forward to providing more information as development progresses.”
In the past, Blizzard has collaborated with other social media platforms to connect players beyond Azeroth. Since Patch 6.1 of Warlords of Draenor, there has been a feature in World of Warcraft that allows players to send tweets about various events – for example, when they obtain a special item or take a nice screenshot.
