How to Add a Game to Your Battle.net Account

Adding a game to Battle.net takes three steps—purchase, redeem, play.

1. Purchase the Game

• Digital: Battle.net Shop, Blizzard Store, or Steam (linked accounts).
• Physical: Retail box with disc or code card.

2. Redeem / Install

• Digital purchase: Auto-adds to your library; click Install in the Battle.net app.
• Physical disc: Insert → follow on-screen prompts (may download bulk of data anyway).
• Code card: Redeem at account.battle.net → "Add a Game" or in Battle.net App → Shop → "Redeem a Code".

3. Access & Play

• Game appears in the "Games" tab of the Battle.net desktop app.
• Some titles (e.g., WoW) require separate install/updates after license attachment.

Reminders

• Verify system requirements before buying.
• Region-lock: codes must match your account region.
• Contact Blizzard Support for "Code Already Claimed" or region errors.
