Blizzard confirmed that CD Projekt Red's The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered and Cyberpunk 2077 will launch on Battle.net before year-end, but the company emphasized it has no plans to compete with Steam. Blizzard maintains a selective curation approach, prioritizing games that appeal to its core audience rather than pursuing open self-publishing like Steam or Epic Games Store.
CD Projekt Red and Blizzard announced that Cyberpunk 2077 is coming to Battle.net later this year, alongside an Overwatch collaboration featuring Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. The partnership also includes The Witcher 3 on Battle.net and a Diablo crossover with Geralt of Rivia as an exclusive Barbarian skin for preorders of the Songs of the Past expansion.
CD Projekt Red is bringing The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 to Blizzard's Battle.net launcher. A Geralt skin for Diablo 4's Barbarian class will be exclusive to those who pre-order The Witcher 3's Songs of the Past expansion on Battle.net, excluding Steam and console players and drawing criticism from the community over both the restriction and the skin's appearance.
A GitHub mod called DLSSG SM86 enables Multi Frame Generation on RTX 30 series graphics cards, a feature officially exclusive to RTX 50 GPUs. The modification adds two files to game folders to unlock frame rate boosts with 2x, 3x, and 4x multipliers, working similarly to Nvidia's official implementation on newer hardware.
