Hearthstone Console Ports Still Awaited — Xbox Tie-Up Makes Them More Likely

Blizzard has clarified why Hearthstone hasn’t made the leap from phones and tablets to consoles or handheld PCs, even more than a decade after launch. The developer says the game’s Xbox/Microsoft ownership has shifted priorities and means console and Steam Deck releases are more seriously under consideration now.

• Hearthstone remains officially available on mobile and tablet platforms, but no console versions have been released yet.
• Blizzard has publicly addressed the absence of ports to systems such as Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck, explaining the decision-making behind platform support.
• Microsoft’s acquisition has changed internal priorities, making console conversions a higher strategic focus than before.
• While Blizzard describes ports as increasingly likely, no release windows or firm plans have been announced so far.
