Does anyone know if BO4 will come to Steam? It seems strange to me that all the cods that were previously exclusive to Battle.net are all on Steam except BO4.
I’d like to think it would, but then again, if it was coming to Steam, why isn’t it there already?

Battle.net and Steam are functionally two separate platforms. Unlike the other CoD games with multiplayer available on Battle.net, BO4 does not have cross platform support. This means that, if it were brought to Steam, Activision would either need to add cross platform support, have completely separate player bases between Steam and Battle.net, or have the Steam version launch through Battle.net. Given BO4’s age and low player count on PC, Activision doesn’t have any significant incentive to dedicate the resources to adding cross platform support and the other two alternatives would be more likely to generate a negative reaction from the community than a positive one.

Bo4 is an old game if it’s not there it never will be
