Bethesda Softworks Is Retiring Their Launcher And Moving To Steam In April

Bethesda Softworks will officially be retiring their Bethesda.net launcher and will be moving to Steam in April. The migration process will start in early April with detailed instructions to be given as we move closer to moving day. It’s going to take a bit of work on your part but it shouldn’t be too complicated.

“You have plenty of time to plan and begin migrating your Bethesda.net library to your Steam account,” said Bethesda. “The migration to Steam will include your game library and Wallet – meaning you will not lose anything from your Bethesda.net account. Many games will also have their saves migrated, with a few requiring some manual transfers. For games that require it, you will still use your Bethesda.net login to sign in to play. Your Bethesda.net account will not be lost and will still be accessible on our website and in-game, and we will continue supporting all Bethesda.net accounts with our future titles.”

For MMO fans, Elder Scrolls Online will be unaffected by the move while Fallout 76 players will need to go through a few quick steps as detailed in this FAQ to be able to transfer their account to Steam. You can also head over to Bethesda’s official site for more info.
