Bethesda Confirms Steam Migration Date

gamerant.com:

Bethesda is saying its farewell to the Bethesda Game Launcher after six years of service and is now migrating all of its games to Steam. The sun setting on the launcher was made public as far back as February this year in a blog post that thanked the fans for their continued support over the years, assuring them that their games and their currency were safe.

The process for migrating Bethesda games to Steam will take some coordinated effort from its users, and Bethesda has promised that an extensive guide will be made available to its customers on April 27th, when the migration process will officially take place. This migration will include both the game library and the wallet, ensuring that nothing is lost in the transfer. The only game not affected by this change is The Elder Scrolls Online, which will still keep its own separate launcher.

First Two Elder Scrolls Games Are Coming to Steam as Part of The Bethesda Migration

Users will have the opportunity to transfer their game library and wallet to Steam until May 11th, when Bethesda Game Launcher officially closes down. The post on Bethesda.net states that from May 11th onwards, players will no longer be able to launch their Bethesda games within the Bethesda launcher. Despite retiring the service, customers will retain their Bethesda.net account, as many Bethesda games rely on it to provide services such as mods, in-game items, and exclusive updates.

A very important thing to note is that despite retiring the Bethesda Game Launcher, customers will not lose ownership of their games and will be able to complete the migration process at any time from April 27th. Their library will remain untouched on Bethesda.net – they just won't be able to start them through the launcher.
