Bethesda Sunsetting Bethesda.Net Launcher & Migrating To Steam

Bethesda have just announced plans to sunset their Bethesda.Net PC launcher and migrate their games onto Steam.

We’re saying goodbye to the Bethesda.net Launcher this year. Starting in early April you’ll be able to migrate your games and Wallet to your Steam account.

No doubt many PC gamers will rejoice at the news of the reduction of game launchers they need, and I don't blame them. The market is quite saturated with nearly every publisher offering their own desktop client to download and run their games, so one less to install can only be a boon!

You have plenty of time to plan and begin migrating your Bethesda.net library to your Steam account. The migration to Steam will include your game library and Wallet – meaning you will not lose anything from your Bethesda.net account.

Bethesda have stated that some save games may need manually copying in order for them to work, but the majority should migrate without any issue. There is also a separate FAQ specifically tailored for Fallout 76, as players will no doubt be worried in regards to their creations.

I'm actually kind of happy about this; the less storefronts, the better. However, I can't deny that some competition is a bit healthy for Steam, hoping that maybe they'll reduce the cut they take from games by following what Epic Games does. That said, I doubt it, since they still practically have a monopoly.

The problem isn't so much with actual storefronts, but with individual developers taking their games off one store to make their own, sellling only their own games.
