Blizzard sticks to PC focus while keeping console doors open for key titles

Blizzard says there are no announced plans to bring Warcraft 3, World of Warcraft: Forever, or Heroes of the Storm to Xbox or other consoles; the team emphasizes a PC-first approach and won’t rule out future ports with a “never say never” stance. World of Warcraft: Forever will include native Xbox controller support on PC, which could ease a potential port, while Heroes of the Storm’s revival is still in early stages with focus on existing players rather than a console launch.

Blizzard Relaunches Heroes of the Storm with Xal'atath as the First New Hero in Years

Blizzard announced at BlizzCon 2026 that Heroes of the Storm will begin a measured revival from maintenance mode, starting with Xal'atath, Warcraft’s void-wielding antagonist, as the first new playable hero in years. She will enter the public test realm on Monday ahead of a late-September launch, but Blizzard cautions that updates depend on player reception. The move follows the game’s dormancy since 2020’s Hogger release and hints at more Blizzard crossovers and even potential console support if the revival proves popular.
