Ask SI about Battle.net

Answers use saved listing facts and recorded sources.

What it does

Battle.net is a desktop game launcher with a shop, friends messaging and voice chat. Official downloads are offered for Windows and Mac.

Use the launcher to find your supported games and their updates, then keep friends and voice chat alongside the library. Game access is separate from downloading Battle.net: the site lists free titles, trials, games and expansions rather than one subscription that unlocks everything.

Strengths

Launcher, shop and friends communication together

Separate website checks

These checks do not add points to the SI Score. They inspect the website's HTML, not the product in use.

How the SI Score works →

Unconfirmed details may be unassessed, absent from the pages checked or temporarily unreadable. A missing price does not mean the service is free.

Sources and checks

Supporting pages for product usefulness, site facts, prices and separate website checks. Each record keeps its own date. Reading a page does not establish how well the product performs in use.
