Activision is coming again to Steam in an enormous approach in 2022. We have recognized for some time now that the brand new Name of Obligation: Fashionable Warfare 2 would be the first CoD to reach on Steam since 2017 (opens in new tab), but it surely appears to be like like Activision is preparing for its grand return by gussying itself up with an official writer homepage.
Writer homepages are what you see if you click on on the writer’s title on a Steam retailer web page. Earlier than at present, Activision’s writer hyperlink led to a default listing of its Steam video games. Now it has a extra official “writer homepage (opens in new tab)” with a banner picture, an choice to observe the writer on Steam, and collections of Activision video games curated by Activision.
It is not a big change for the common buyer, but it surely does counsel that Activision might be a more in-depth participant within the Steam market going ahead. Activision technically by no means left Steam solely. In 2019, Sekiro and the Spyro remake trilogy launched on Steam beneath the Activision banner regardless of the final 4 CoDs and Crash Bandicoot 4 solely ever releasing on Battle.internet, and Tony Hawk Professional Skater 1 + 2 showing completely on the Epic Video games Retailer.
This might be an indication that outliers like Crash 4, Tony Hawk, and Activision’s huge service sport success, Name of Obligation: Warzone, can even come to Steam quickly.
A proper homepage signifies that Activision can now take part on the enjoyable of Steam writer gross sales, promotions that usually see reductions on a writer’s complete Steam catalog. Perhaps we’ll lastly get a good low cost on decade-old Name of Obligation video games.
Activision’s Steam return kicks off in October with Name of Obligation: Fashionable Warfare 2.
