Call of Duty: Warzone is not just the new Battle Royale mode for Modern Warfare, but basically a standalone game. The title also works as largely independent Free2Play shooter. Like Modern Warfare, you can currently only find Warzone on Battle.net.
- (Image credit: Activision) The Call of Duty Warzone gulag is the big new thing for battle royales to take note of. The first time you die you get a second chance via this prison pit fight.
- Warzone is a customizable strategy game where you compete with your friends to conquer the world.
But free of charge and Crossplay cries out that Activision wants to reach as many players as possible. So why not use other PC launcher like the still popular Steam?

We want to clarify for you in this report how big the probability is and why CoD has not been taking place on Valves platform for a few years and we have for it asked for one at Activision.
What is the chance of a steam release?
In general, gamers shouldn't have too much hope that Warzone will be released on Steam in the near future. Activision could reach more players via Steam than the already extremely impressive 6 million in the last 24 hours, but of course is also very interested in that player install and use the in-house Battle.net. After all, Epic does not release Fortnite on Steam despite the possible growth in players.
We nevertheless asked the publisher, who confirmed this assessment:
' There are currently no plans to release Call of Duty: Warzone on Steam. '
Call of Duty on Steam
If you are currently looking for Call of Duty on Steam, you will definitely find it. Without exception, these are older parts of the series. Since the release of Black Ops 4 two years ago, call-of-duty games have only been sold on Blizzards Battle.net.
Why does Activision Blizzard do this?
Not only Activision Blizzard, but also Bethesda and Electronic Arts are trying more and more to emancipate themselves from Steam. The reason for this is, on the one hand, to bind players more closely to themselves and their own store. Of course, earnings also play a major role. After all, publishers still have to give around 30 percent to Valve if a game is sold through their store. You save this money in your own store.
What is different at Warzone?
Warzone is a mode for Modern Warfare, but can also be played for free. In this case, Activision-Blizzard would not pass 30 percent on a first-time purchase to Valve, since everyone can simply download the game. However, there is one in Warzone an in-game store like other Free2Play games, on which Valve would surely also make a profit.
After the release of Call of Duty Warzone, the demand is huge. However, there is still no trace of the Battle Royale on Steam. That should change.
- Call of Duty Warzone * is free for all players .
- Steam initially only offers old Call of Duty * parts.
- Battle Royale mode coming to Steam soon?
Los Angeles, USA - Call of Duty Warzone is the latest addition to Activison's Call of Duty range . The Battle Royale mode has been playable since March 10th, 2020 and without additional version of Call of Duty Modern Warfare *.
Much like Apex Legends, the Battle Royale mode of the new Call of Duty was released immediately after the official announcement. So there was the first insight into Warzone * just one day before the actual game was released.Battle Royale mode is now available free of charge on PC , PS4 and Xbox One . However, many players on the PC rightly ask themselves: Can Warzone also be downloaded via Steam instead of using Activision's rather bulky Battle.net launcher?
Call of Duty Warzone: also available on Steam?
The Call of Duty game series has been published on the in-house platform Battle.net since the merger of the industry giants Activision and Blizzard , which has meanwhile been officially renamed to blizzard.com.Battle.net is actually owned by Blizzard Entertainment and also offers Overwatch, World of Warcraft and Hearthstone. The two latest ActivisionCall of Duty parts can also be found here. As reported by ingame.de *, Steam also offers some games from the Call of Duty series.

While Battle.net sells the newer action shooter titles, Steam has a large selection of older games on offer. The following games from the Call of Duty series are currently available on Steam :
- Call of duty
- Call of Duty 2
- Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
- Call of Duty: World at War
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
- Call of Duty Black Ops
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
- Call of Duty: Black Ops II
- Call of Duty: Ghost
- Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
- Call of Duty: Black Ops III
- Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
- Call of Duty: WWII
There are also numerous extensions, remaster versions and extension packs for the small budget. Only Call of Duty 3 and the two current offshoots Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Modern Warfare * with the new expansion Warzone are missing from the ranks of the main series parts. The new titles are again available on B lizzard.com.
So bad news for all Steam users who want to play the standalone title via the Valve platform.Warzone is and will probably not be available on Steam in the future. The only way to start the new Call of Duty mode at least via Steam is the practical function of loading third-party games from the hard drive into your own library. However, this is not really helpful in the case of Call of Duty Warzone , since the detour via the Activision client still has to be accepted. Valve itself has not yet released an official statement on the release of Call of Duty Warzone on its own platform.
Call of Duty Warzone: Exclusive to Activison's Battle.net
Judging from this passage from the Warzone blog announcement, the PC version is available exclusively from Battle.net :
'When launched, players can team up with their friends on Playstation 4, Battle.net for PC or Xbox One in two game modes in trios: Battle Royale and Plunder.'
Welcome to #Warzone.

This explicitly refers to the start via B attle.net and no other sales platform for computer games such as Steam or the Epic Games Store . Time will tell, however, whether the Battle of Call of Dutymode can soon be downloaded from the Steam Shop, like many of its predecessors.
Cod Warzone Steam Code
If you haven't downloaded Warzone yet, you should bring two things with you: a lot of patience and a lot of free space. The download can be between 83 GB and 101 GB, depending on whether you're playing on Xbox One, PS4 or the computer.
