Hoyoverse continues to bring in the expected content updates to its free-to-play character action action-RPG Zenless Zone Zero with the reveal of update version 2.8.
What you don’t expect is to see Zenless Zone Zero coming to Steam.
While the game has already been playable on PC, it’s even on the Epic Games Store on top of its own dedicated launcher. But to have it on the biggest PC games distribution platform should make it an even more accessible than before.
Hoyoverse is also opening up sign-ups for players to the ZZZ Steam Advance Testing, to try out the build of the game on Steam “to polish the game’s quality.”
Zenless Zone Zero is set to be the first of the big three Hoyoverse gacha games to have a Steam release, ahead of the groundbreaking open-world RPG Genshin Impact and the turn-based RPG Honkai: Star Rail. That said, it’s not exactly the first Hoyo game on Steam. Honkai Impact 3rd, the pre-Genshin pre-Hoyoverse mobile game, also has a Steam version since 2021.
There’s no exact release date yet for the Steam release of ZZZ, but it’s expected to come later this year.
Zenless Zone Zero Update 2.8 will be out on May 6 on PS5, PC and mobile.
