Hoyoverse announced that Zenless Zone Zero will launch on Steam on June 17, 2026, alongside the game's largest content update to date: Season 3. The urban fantasy action RPG, which has been available on other PC platforms since its initial launch, will support cross-progression on Steam. The update arrives as the publisher continues expanding its portfolio that includes Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail. Exact details of the Season 3 content were not fully detailed in the announcement.
Hoyoverse finally bringing Zenless Zone Zero to Steam on June 17, paired with what they're calling the game's biggest update yet in Season 3. The urban fantasy action RPG has been playable on other PC launchers but Steam was the missing piece. Cross-progression will be supported. Hoyoverse continuing to stack its roster alongside Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail.
Fills a slight gaming gap (9 stories in 48h is high but this is a major platform shift for a major publisher) with specific, checkable claims — named game (Zenless Zone Zero), named platform (Steam), named date (June 17, 2026), named update (Season 3) — from a single credible outlet (CBR), no duplication of recent coverage.
Hoyoverse has historically launched its titles outside Steam, relying on its own launcher and the Epic Games Store, so bringing ZZZ to Steam signals a strategic shift to capture Valve's massive PC audience. The simultaneous Season 3 launch is clearly designed to maximize the Steam debut's impact with fresh content. For a game that launched in mid-2024, a Steam release 18-plus months later suggests the publisher sees untapped growth potential on the platform.
Hoyoverse has always kept its games off Steam until now, so this is a real signal about where they think PC players are. Dropping Season 3 the same day is smart — new content gives Steam players a reason to jump in immediately instead of treating it as a late port. Nearly two years post-launch means they clearly think there's a bigger audience they haven't reached yet.
