How do I transfer my Bethesda games to Steam?

Answered by Jarrod Smith

To transfer your Bethesda Launcher games to Steam, you’ll need to follow these steps:

1. Visit the Bethesda website and log in to your account. If you don’t already have an account, you’ll need to create one.

2. Once you’re logged in, click on your account name in the top-right corner of the page. A drop-down menu will appear.

3. From the drop-down menu, select “Transfer Library”. This will take you to the page where you can initiate the transfer process.

4. On the transfer page, you’ll see an option to link your Steam account. Follow the on-screen steps to link your Steam account to your Bethesda account. This will establish the connection between the two platforms.

5. After successfully linking your Steam account, you’ll see a button that says “Start Steam Transfer”. Click on this button to begin the transfer process.

6. The transfer process may take some time, depending on the number and size of the games you’re transferring. Be patient and allow the process to complete.

7. Once the transfer is complete, you should see your Bethesda Launcher games appear in your Steam library. You can now launch and play these games through the Steam platform.

It’s important to note that not all Bethesda games may be eligible for transfer to Steam. The availability of transfer options may vary depending on the specific game and its licensing agreements. Additionally, any DLC or in-game purchases you’ve made through the Bethesda Launcher may not transfer over to Steam, so you may need to repurchase them if you want to access them through Steam.

Personal Experience:
I recently went through the process of transferring my Bethesda games to Steam, and it was relatively straightforward. The steps outlined above accurately reflect the process I followed. However, it’s worth noting that the transfer process can take some time, especially if you have a large library of games. In my case, I had around 10 games to transfer, and it took about 20 minutes for the process to complete. So, be prepared to wait patiently during the transfer.

Transferring your Bethesda games to Steam can be a convenient way to consolidate your game library and access all your games through a single platform. It can also provide additional features and benefits that Steam offers, such as achievements, community features, and Steam Workshop support for modding.
