Starcraft – Does Wings of Liberty have global play on its own

starcraft-2

I just learnt that global play is available in Heart of the Swarm. If I only have a Wings of Liberty copy attached to the North American server and I have a friend with only a Wings of Liberty copy attached to the European server, can we both use global play to play together without Heat of the Swarm?

Best Answer

Yes, Wings of Liberty has global play without upgrading to Heart of the Swarm.

If I want to use Global Play, do I have to upgrade to Heart of the Swarm?.

Global play will be available to all StarCraft II players, regardless of license level. You do not need to upgrade your copy of Wings of Liberty to use Global Play.

If you have more than one regional copy of Wings of Liberty and want to upgrade to Heart of the Swarm, you only need to upgrade one of them. The Heart of the Swarm upgrade applies to all regional versions of Wings of Liberty on your Battle.net account.

As has been mentioned and is also in the FAQ, Global Play is not available to those in mainland China.
