NCsoft will start its digital distribution with Valve. NCsoft announced today that it is bringing all its MMO games to Steam, a leading platform for the distribution and management of PC games with over 20 million users worldwide.

Including City of Heroes, Guild Wars, and Lineage, you already can purchase the latest offerings of NCsoft via Steam. NCsoft will also deliver its highly anticipated MMO, Aion, on the Steam platform when it launches this fall in North America and Europe. Once a player purchases their favorite NCsoft games through Steam, they can then sign in from any PC to play. So get ready your Steam account!

"NCsoft's leading-edge MMOs are an incredible addition to the Steam library of games," said Jason Holtman, director of business development at Valve. "NCsoft is a clear leader in the MMO industry, and we believe our player community will be very excited to have access to the diverse catalog NCsoft has to offer our members."

"We are thrilled to offer our franchises to the legions of gamers in the Steam community," said David Reid, president of publishing for NCsoft West. "Steam's community is filled with passionate players intent on having the latest updates on their favorite games. Extending our distribution reach with Steam will allow more gamers the freedom and flexibility to stay updated and engaged with our games and online communities."
