Bethesda Launcher Migration to Steam is Now Live

The beginning of the end for the Bethesda Launcher has finally arrived. All Bethesda Launcher users on PC can now begin migrating their game library over to Steam, as per the company on Twitter. The launcher will be sunset on May 11th.

An FAQ detailing the whole process can be viewed here. But essentially, all games played through the Bethesda Launcher will be playable on Steam going forward. All of your save data should transfer over automatically (with some games requiring manual transfer) but Bethesda.net account access is needed to transfer mods, skins and so on.

The Friends List is also merging with Steam for some titles like DOOM Eternal, Fallout 76, RAGE 2, Deathloop and so on. Also, despite recommending that one transfers their library as soon as possible, it can also be started later. Your library isn’t going to be removed or inaccessible – it simply won’t be playable through the Bethesda Launcher after it’s sunset. Stay tuned for further updates in the meantime.

Bethesda Launcher Migration to Steam Starts on April 27th

Back in February, Bethesda announced that its PC-based Bethesda Launcher would be sunset in May. Players with games and saves on the service could migrate over to Steam in early April. A date has now been provided and though it’s slightly later, migration will begin on April 27th.

Though the process should be seamless, some titles may require manual transferring of saves. Furthermore, you’ll need access to your Bethesda.net account for mods, skins and so on. It’s also worth noting that access to one’s games won’t be disappearing. They simply won’t be available to play on the Bethesda Launcher so you can always begin the migration process later (though the company recommends doing so as soon as it goes live).

Your Friends List on Bethesda.net will merge with Steam for certain titles like Deathloop, RAGE 2, Fallout 76, DOOM Eternal and so on. It’s not possible to migrate to any other service outside of Steam so don’t count on accessing your library on PlayStation or Xbox platforms. The Bethesda Launcher will be sunset on May 11th – stay tuned for more details in the meantime.

Bethesda Softworks has announced that its Bethesda Launcher, which could be used to play titles like Fallout 76 on PC, is being retired. It will go away in May but in early April, all players will be able to migrate their game libraries, progress and funds to Steam. Saves will also be migrated (though some titles require manual transferring) and a Bethesda.net account is still going to be used for logging into certain titles.

Bethesda.net account access will be required for accessing in-game skins, mods and whatnot. The company also notes that you won’t lose access to your games in May – just the ability to play them on the Bethesda Launcher. Once the migration process becomes available, players can start it whenever they please.

Migration to PlayStation or Xbox or even any other PC service other than Steam won’t be possible. Your Bethesda.net Friends List will also merge for titles like RAGE 2, Fallout 76, DOOM Eternal, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, The Elder Scrolls: Legends and Deathloop. Stay tuned for more details on the exact date for migration in the coming weeks.
