Fallout 76 Won't Launch on Steam
 

Bethesda published their FAQ for the Fallout 76 beta this week, which stated the game would launch on the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One via Bethesda.net only. PC Gamer later contacted a rep who confirmed it would be exclusive to the company's own launcher; neither the beta nor the full game will be available through Steam. That comes as a real surprise: Bethesda would obviously like to push more widespread adoption of its own launcher, but foregoing the biggest, most popular PC digital distribution platform on the planet is a ballsy move. That's not to say it won't happen eventually, but it may be quite a wait if it happens at all -- Fallout Shelter was released on Bethesda.net in July 2016, but didn't make it to Steam until March 2017.
