Society B today officially announced that starting April 27, Fallout 76 players can migrate their Bethesda Launcher account to Steam. For some time after the migration, players will still be able to access the game through the Bethesda Launcher, but will not be able to make any game transactions, such as purchasing atoms, renewing fallout 1st membership, etc.
Starting May 11, players will not be able to log in or play Fallout 76 using the Bethesda Launcher, and will need to complete the migration before continuing their in-game adventure on Steam. Society B recommends that players do their account migration as early as possible to avoid any game interruptions due to the disabled Login for Fallout 76 in May. A link to the migration tool will be provided on the same day and the whole process will only take a few minutes. However, during periods of high traffic, it may take longer.
If players do not install Fallout 76 via Steam, they will need to download the latest version to play the game. After the account is migrated, the player's previous game settings, including resolution, subtitles, atoms in the account, equipment and other store items, will be retained through migration. If the player is an existing Bethesda.net.Fallout 1st membership expires, it will not be automatically renewed. However, players can open a new membership service through Steam. There is no impact on the custom world after the user migration. If an account is accidentally linked incorrectly, players can unlink it, but only a limited number of times. Currently, Steam does not support running multiple Fallout 76 game clients at the same time.
