Bethesda has yet to signal any interest in selling Android software in similar fashion Fallout Shelter is currently available via Google Play, while Elder Scrolls: Blades will arrive on Android and iOS "later this year." This news follows last week's confirmation that Fortnite will skip the Google Play app store when it eventually launches on Android phones. The FAQ doesn't clarify whether any progress could be wiped in the middle of the beta, as is often standard in the case of pre-release software due to unpatched exploits. (Xbox One owners will get first crack, though Bethesda hasn't confirmed how long that exclusive period will last.) The publisher promises that any game progress will carry over from the beta period to the final version, which launches November 14. Bethesda's latest statement, on the other hand, does not include any indication that the retail-priced Fallout 76 will ever find its way to Valve Software's popular storefront and game-launch service, which charges third-party publishers a 30-percent fee for any transactions.įallout 76 beta access will kick off "in October," Bethesda says, and anyone who pre-orders the game will be able to launch its pre-release version when each platform's beta period begins. Both of those games' PC versions eventually found their way to Steam. The launcher debuted on Windows PCs in 2016, and since its debut, it has featured two exclusive free-to-play games during their PC launch windows: Quake Champions and Fallout Shelter. Once we clicked through all of the FAQ's questions (all hidden with spoiler tags), we found a definitive answer near the bottom: "Both the beta and the game will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and on PC (via only)."
Our suspicions were raised by the game's beta FAQ, which went live on Monday and included many mentions of the store and launcher for the game's Windows version. The publisher's latest announcement about the online RPG Fallout 76 included hints to a first for a 3D Fallout game: it won't be sold via Steam. Bethesda has become the latest video game publisher to begin pulling a major game series from rivals' download services.
