By One of the small but genuinely helpful updates this month is the addition of Battle.net single sign-in on GeForce NOW. It doesn’t sound exciting on paper, but anyone who’s had to type a Blizzard password on a TV, handheld or browser knows exactly why this matters.
Here’s what’s changing and how it makes life easier.
What single sign-in actually does
You link your Battle.net account once, and after that GeForce NOW automatically signs you in every time you launch a supported game. No login screens. No two-factor prompts. No bouncing between windows.
That means games like:
• Overwatch 2
• Diablo IV
• Hearthstone (if cloud supported later)
• Any future Blizzard titles added to the service
just open and get on with it.
Why this is a useful update
Before this, Blizzard games on GFN always asked you to authenticate manually. That was fine on a PC, but it was awkward everywhere else. Controllers, TVs and handhelds don’t exactly make typing passwords fun.
Now it works the same way as the existing account links for:
• Xbox
• Epic Games
• Ubisoft
It’s consistent, predictable and removes one more hurdle between you and actually starting a game.
How to set it up
The setup is simple:
- Open GeForce NOW
- Go to Settings
- Find the Connections section
- Link your Battle.net account
- Approve it once in your browser
- You’re done
After that, every supported Blizzard game will sign in automatically.
A small change that solves a big annoyance
This isn’t a headline feature, but it’s the kind of update that genuinely improves everyday use. Blizzard games finally behave like everything else on GFN, which makes jumping between platforms and devices far smoother.
If you play Overwatch 2 or Diablo IV, you’ll feel the difference immediately.
