Bethesda Launcher Migration to Steam Delayed
The operation of transferring games from Bethesda Launcher to Steam will be delayed until May.
- The migration of games from Bethesda Launcher to Steam will begin with a delay;
- The company said that the process will start in April, but did not provide a specific date;
- It was also revealed that Bethesda Launcher will eventually stop working in May.
Almost two months ago Bethesda announced that this year it will abandon further development of its Launcher app. As a result of this move studio's games will be available through external services.
Gamers who have been using Bethesda's app so far were given the opportunity to move their titles to Steam. The operation was supposed to take off in early April. However, we have reached that point and players still cannot transfer their games.
A little delay and explanation
A sign that there is a delay could be found in a post published by Bethesda two months ago. It was updated a few days ago, and the information about the move starting in early April was removed.
Currently, the message reads that the move will begin in April, but the company did not give a specific date or at least information whether it's the first or second half of the month.
In addition, Bethesda revealed that players will lose the ability to launch their games using the Launcher in May. In this case, again, no specific date was given for the end of support.
Should gamers be worried?
If you are stressed about missing the move, there is no need to worry. Bethesda has explained how the process will work.
You don't have to keep watching the company's website every now and then to check if game transfers are possible already. It will not be limited in time, so there's not need to hurry.
As a matter of fact, you will be able to move your games to Steam even long after Bethesda Launcher stops working in May.
The company has also once again assured that we will be able to transfer our virtual currency and even our gameplay logs along with our titles (the only exception in this regard is Wolfenstein: Youngblood).
Migration of games to Steam also means that on Valve\s platform will see some games, which until now were available only through Bethesda Launcher. We are talking about Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory or Creation Kit tool for Fallout 4.
It remains to wait patiently for further information, and when the operation begins to take advantage of the move at a convenient time. More detailed information about it can be found in the post describing the process.
