For a list of games, see games using Battle.net DRM.
Key points
- DRM: Digital distribution platform with accompanying client required for downloading and updating games.
- Blizzard Entertainment games only; with the exception of Destiny 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII. Some older Blizzard games do not require the client for DRM, and use classic Battle.net accounts for online play. Classic Battle.net accounts differ from typical accounts.
- Most Battle.net games require a constant network connection. StarCraft II has an offline mode, but it only functions for a maximum of 30 days before requiring a re-connect.
- Two-factor authentication: SMS Protect and Battle.net Authenticator for iOS, Android, and physical.
