Blizzard put an end to rumors about the arrival of Overwatch to Mac

During this weekend in which BlizzCon 2017 was held, a rumor emerged that indicated the arrival of Overwatch to Mac, as some users found a game installer for the Apple platform and a reference to the title appeared in the Battle.Net client for Mac users. After the big event, Blizzard informed users about this situation.

After the rumors about the possible arrival of Overwatch to Mac ignited the networks, Blizzard was in charge to put an end to them and informed that the title will not arrive, for the moment, to the platform of Apple. In response to a request made by Polygon, the company simply replied that it has nothing to announce about it at this time. For his part Tim Ford, chief engineer of Blizzard, told Gadgets360: "We have no plans to take this game to Mac. There are important technological decisions taken by Apple that hinder the launch of the game the way we want it to be consumed and that's why we have not pursued that goal. "

In this way, although Blizzard did not specifically talk about the reference to Overwatch in sections of Battle.Net dedicated to Mac, everything seems to indicate that it was a simple bug. It is important to mention that Jeff Kaplan, director of the game, has been open to the possibility that the title comes at some point to the Apple platform.
