Blizzard has clarified that Hearthstone, despite being a popular collectible card game for over a decade, is not currently in development for consoles like the Switch 2 or Steam Deck. The company is considering a port, especially with new ownership under Microsoft, which may prioritize console adaptations. Hearthstone's original codebase is aging and would require significant updates to ensure a smooth user experience on these platforms. There is anticipation for BlizzCon 2026, where Blizzard is set to announce a new Cataclysm-themed expansion and resolve any rumors about a possible Hearthstone 2.

Will Hearthstone ever be available on consoles?

While Blizzard has not committed to a specific timeline, they are actively evaluating the potential for a Hearthstone console release given new strategic priorities shaped by Microsoft ownership.

Hearthstone, launched in 2014 and set in the Warcraft universe, quickly became a staple in the competitive card game scene. It features a diverse range of collectible cards and interactive mechanics, allowing players to build unique decks and compete in various gameplay modes. Its success led to expansions and mobile adaptations, making it accessible to a wider audience.
