Connecting your Steam and Battle.net accounts can make your life a whole lot easier, and it’s actually pretty simple to do. If you’ve ever jumped between the two platforms, you know how annoying it can be to manage separate libraries, friends lists, and game progress. Activision uses its own account system across games like Call of Duty, Diablo IV, and Overwatch 2, so connecting your Steam and Battle.net accounts will keep your progress, friends list, and achievements in sync and save you from juggling separate logins every time you switch platforms. Here’s how you can easily connect your Steam and Battle.net accounts.
How to Connect Your Steam and Battle.net Accounts
To connect your Steam and Battle.net accounts, start by logging into your Battle.net account. You can do this via the Battle.net app or directly on the Battle.net website. Once you’re signed in, head to Account Overview and select Connections from the menu. Under Connected Accounts, you’ll see the option to connect Steam. Click Connect, sign in to your Steam account, and provide the necessary permissions for the two services to share data correctly.
After you’ve linked your Steam and Battle.net accounts, your game libraries, achievements, and friends lists will be shared between the two, making it easier to launch games and stay connected. If you ever want to unlink the accounts, simply go back to the Connections section and select Disconnect.
However, keep in mind there’s a 90-day waiting period before you can link a new Steam account. Until disconnected, your Steam and Battle.net accounts stay linked and automatically sign you in whenever you launch Blizzard titles that require a Battle.net account. Since many of Activision’s titles link progression, unlocks, and social features directly to your Battle.net account, keeping both platforms connected will make sure your progress, unlocks, and social features carry over smoothly.
