World of Tanks PC will be released on Steam in 2021.
Last night, a Steam page for World of Tanks PC was added to Steam, which indicates the future release of WoT on this platform. Almost 11 years after its launch, WoT will be playable on Steam for free.
As a reminder, two other Wargaming flagship projects have been available on Steam for a long time. World of Warships was released there on November 15, 2017, and World of Tanks Blitz a little earlier – on November 9, 2016.
Can we already think about removing the Wargaming Game Center – not yet. WG has implemented everything in its own way and the company does not want to lose the audience of its game to Steam. Likely they will make the Wargaming.net Game Center launcher launch simultaneously with the launch of the game on Steam (in quiet mode).
World of Tanks was not originally created as a game for several PC platforms, therefore it is impossible to use an existing account to enter the game through Steam. If you start playing World of Tanks on Steam, a new account will be created for you.
“When the game becomes available to Steam players, you will have access to all of its content. By creating a new account and completing a short tutorial, you will be able to fight alongside millions of “tankers” from existing servers. When you first enter the game, one of the game regions will be automatically selected for you (based on your location). If you want, you can change it (immediately or later), however, your progress in the game will start over again. All updates will be done through Steam, and you will be able to access all the new content at the same time as everyone else in your region. In addition, you can interact with all “tankers” without any restrictions – add them as friends, fight together as a platoon and join clans. “
At the moment, the World of Tanks Steam version supports 4 regions: RU (CIS), EU, NA, ASIA (China is not supported), as well as the client of the Sandbox test server.
No support found for the Public Test client via Steam. There is also 1 hidden DLC, most likely this is some kind of unique content (customization, etc.) for the Steam version of WoT.
The game on Steam supports 27 languages, there are no collectible Steam cards (they will be added later, in one of the next big updates).
In the meantime, you can add the game to your Steam wishlist.
Looks like the game is still dying.
And the fact that you can’t play through steam with an existing account is very cheap. But I didn’t expect any better from WG to be honest.
“In addition, you can interact with all “tankers” without any restrictions – add them as friends, fight together as a platoon and join clans. “
Does that mean cross-server play?
is a fucking pc platform, should be same pc servers But greed WG won’t allow convert existing accounts to steam.
Bruh… Have you read the article?
NO CROSS-SERVERS!
You can choose your region (EU/NA/RU) and play there.
In addition you will have to start from scratch on each individual cluster.
Meaning that you will have:
– one separate acc for EU
– one separate acc for NA
– one separate acc for RU

Effectively this switch to Steam is completely useless for existing players and imo is only directed at fresh new customers…
Boys, the only purpose that we need to get on Steam with regards to WG/WoT is to leave the worst review you’ve ever written and rate it down to hell!!!
Let’s also hope: 1. all our negative reviews automatically triggers Steam’s evaluation on WG’s game(s); 2. Steam discovers the Putin manipulation (soviet bias RNG); 3. Steam bans WG for pure political reasons.
Sure, WG. This is the PERFECT time for you to start on a game platform where people can have REAL comments you can’t manipulate with your KGB/GRU manner. 🙂
Beach! Biden is back! Democrats are back!
You slavs shall be scared to death now!!! FICKERS!
what you’ve been smoking mate?
It’s just a game, chill
Lol
Considering there are tools to prevent exactly that on steam now, it won’t happen that easy.
I think someone needs a chill pill.
And to take off that tinfoil hat.
With enough bad reviews for game that is based on gambling and cheating the players out of their cash, STEAM might look closely enough at WG to ban all their games.
