Players are petitioning to save Heroes of the Storm by putting it on Steam.

Heroes of the Storm is Blizzard’s flagship offering to compete with titles like Dota 2 and League of Legends in MOBA warfare, which stems from Warcraft 3’s Icefrog’s Dota custom game. This has a long history, but the main topic of the day is that there are still thousands of active players and even active esports scenes from Heroes of the Storm and Blizzard who haven’t done anything to the game in years. However, after Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard, HotS players got their hopes up again. Now they’re creating a petition to get Microsoft to bring the game to Steam.

How does Steam get Heroes of the Storm?

Steam is one of the largest and most powerful video game platforms ever created, and it’s not even close to that yet. With over 130 million monthly active users, it makes every other platform except the mobile one look very small. Adding games to your platform can bring you thousands of new players, especially for free-to-play games with as much history as Heroes of the Storm.

This is the perfect way to revitalize Blizzard’s dying MOBA. Let’s look at a few examples: Steam has a good track record of helping to increase game sales. The platform helped Square Enix increase sales of Final Fantasy XV by more than 1 million copies in its first year of release. Sony has also had huge successes like Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War, and Marvel’s Spider-Man, each of which sold millions of copies on PC. The platform is too big to miss.

With Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 seeing a huge surge in sales through Steam, it only makes sense that Heroes of the Storm would also benefit from it and save the Nexus, even if you already have the Battle.net desktop app.

As a long-time fan of the game, I’d love to see it brought back to life, and I’d love to play Caretaker Leoric or see a new character created on the Nexus.

How to sign a petition to buy Heroes of the Storm on Steam

You can sign the Heroes of the Storm petition here. This could take a lot of time because Microsoft has to make a decision. But when petitions like this one gain traction, it only gives Blizzard a signal that it’s worth reviving Heroes of the Storm. Heroes of the Storm may be adding some major content changes at launch. What I mean is, we’re already seeing some signs of life in the game with updates.

The Heroes of the Storm’s X page, formerly known as Twitter, may also occasionally announce balance changes and updates. Only time will tell whether the game can attract another player, but it all starts from within.
