There may be an overlapping period where you can’t access your games on either platform but it sounds like Bethesda will honor just about everything you could’ve purchased in the past. On the plus side, the updated FAQ now confirms that your content can still be transferred to Steam even after the Bethesda Launcher becomes inactive. Regardless, the window for a smooth transition is closing.

I take that to mean May 1st but it’s vague enough that they could extend things through the entire month. Unfortunately, the deadline to use the Bethesda Launcher is still vague with the company stating only that games will become inaccessible through the application “starting in May”. Their original sunsetting post was updated on April 7th with new details but they’ve also removed the phrase “early April” in relation to the migration process. Players have been asking for news on this process since the month began but it appears Bethesda isn’t quite ready to roll. Our original post from April 11th continues below.īethesda announced in February that their PC games launcher and marketplace would be closing later this year and that a migration process to move purchases to Steam would begin in “early April”. I have denoted the additions and removal below. The FAQ section of their post got two new Q&As but they have also removed the suggestion of registering multiple Steam accounts as part of the migration process. The update also confirms that users will no longer be able to play their games from the Bethesda Launcher starting on May 11th. The migration process will open on April 27th at which time they will provide details on how to actually start the move. Bethesda announced new timing today for the transition from the Bethesda Launcher to Steam.
