Genshin Impact and Other Hoyoverse Games Coming to Steam
A new leak via Black Manta posted on Reddit revealed that Hoyoverse’s account management system has added some Steam-related threads in its localized message file. These messages are errors that appear when certain conditions are not met. What was shocking was that it mentioned the connection with Hoyoaccount and Steam. Only one Hoyoverse game is currently on Steam, Honkai Impact 3rd, which installs directly to your PC without the Hoyo launcher and only supports the NA server. So, newly adding these threads to the system only hints at one outcome. Hoyoverse is planning to connect its launcher to Steam soon, which will allow all Hoyoverse games to release on Steam. So, get ready to test out Columbina on your Steam account, and potentially on your Steam Deck. And it’s about time that this happens as well. Many new gacha games have started releasing on Steam, like Wuthering Waves, Duet Night Abyss, and even Where Winds Meet. Steam is the biggest gaming platform, and failing to tap into its playerbase directly is definitely something Hoyoverse should desire. Many gamers refuse to use any other gaming platform or launcher over Steam, and not being made available on the platform would completely alienate these potential players. So, Genshin Impact eventually releasing on Steam may introduce it to a new playerbase previously untapped. Kuro Games, developers of Wuthering Waves, have also recently announced that they are bringing their old classic Punishing Gray Raven to Steam. Other small gacha games like Limbus Company and Infinite Nikki are also doing well on the platform. So, do you want Genshin Impact and other Hoyoverse games on Steam or not?
