Better contrast, integrated social browsing, and more
With this new version we can expect changes in navigation, such as the possibility of being able to mark your favorite games for quick access. Contrary to the current vertical bar, games will appear on the client in a horizontal format, where they will only show their logo. We can expect more information in each profile, while the social section will be part of the same window.
As for accessibility, it is now possible to navigate through it using only the keyboard. Screen reader compatibility has been increased, as well as improved color contrast. “With the new version of the application, we want to welcome players of all skill levels and guarantee that they are fluent in the application,” says Blizzard.

Battle.net is the desktop application used by Blizzard games and other select Activision label titles. The latest Call of Duty, the classics of the Americans or their main headliners come together in a single window.
