Hey everyone! If you're getting that error it means an account is already linked. Here is a support article with more information: https://help.bethesda.net/app/answers/detail/a_id/50254
You’ll have to contact our support team to unlink your account if you have the wrong account linked. That can be done at https://help.bethesda.net
Hi Ladydevann - My accounts are linked, but FO76 hasn't appeared in my Steam library. Is it too early or am I missing something?
Nope! The game will appear on April 14th. It’s not yet released on steam.
Unfortunately it shows that i don't have any linked accounts so i can't unlink them.I still get this error everytime i try to link steam account with bethesda account. Should I contact support?
Yeah definitely contact support and we can get you sorted out :) Help.bethesda.net
I am wondering if this is an issue? I have several accounts linked but only twitch prime has the little trash can to remove. My steam linked account has the right user name despite no option to remove, so... as long as my linked STEAM account has the right user name I should be good to get a code right?
That’s correct! As long as the right steam account is on there you’re good to go.
Hello, another question, if I’m not interested in the Steam copy can I gift it to my friend instead so he can play with me?
No, the game will automatically show in your library so you won’t receive any codes.
So... NDA is gone?
The NDA is still in place, the press embargo lifted so only press are allowed to talk about what they’ve seen and experienced. Anyone participating in the PTS is still under NDA, though.
What if the linked Bethesda account is so old I cant possibly remember it? I know I played skyrim back in the day. if you forced me to make and link an account for that there is no way Ill ever remember what I used back then. Is there any way to link my current Bethesda account to my Steam?
For sure! You'll just have to contact our Customer Support to assist you with this.
I will claim but no way I am going to use it right now. Too much invested in single level 310 character. If I ever decide to start a new one though, I will uninstall everything Bethesda and then install and launch via Steam. Fuckers should of let Steam have it since day one...did I say fuckers yet?
Your character and progress will transfer over to Steam, no need to start a new character, friend!
When the Steam version is available, you will automatically receive your Fallout 76 entitlement.
Do we know what this looks like? Email with a steam-key, or steam gift, or automagic inventory-add?
The game will show in your inventory, along with the Fallout Classic Collection.
Are you supposed to see it in your steam library already? I already had Steam linked to bethesda.net but don't see any indicator in my steam library or on the store page that I own it
No, you will see it on April 14th when Wastelanders releases.
Um...it looks like it's already linked? I don't recall doing this but the steam option isnt available and it looks like there's already an account there. I could've done this a while ago like for TES blades or something but i cant unlink or relink so...

You won't lose the atoms on Bethesda.net, they just will not show on Steam. Atomic shop purchases carry over, however, so you'll just have to spend your atoms on bethesda.net launcher rather than on Steam.
but when im in the ''linked accounts'' page it says i have no linked accounts
Hmm, you'll have to contact our Support Team then to see what the issue is. You can do that here: https://help.bethesda.net/app/incident10
im not seeing an unlink option on the linked accounts page
You'll have to contact our Customer Support to unlink them.
Hey, do you know if there are currently issues with linking profiles? It's been giving me an error since they announced it, but if it's something temporarily going on with the site I don't want to waste support's time with a ticket

Yes, the PTS is completely separate from the main game. No progress will carry over either.
What about moving from PS4 to PC? Will I keep my character and progress?
No, unfortunately. We can't transfer saves from different platforms.
If I buy FO76 now, will I get it on Steam? There are low priced gifts
As long as you link your Bethesda.net account to your Steam account before the 13th then yes.
Is there any way to check if my account is linked? I think I made a different account for my Fallout 4 mods on Steam and an account for my Bethesda Launcher.
Edit: I followed the link in the Steam Store page and logged in to link my accounts but I got an "Account linking failed. Please retry or contact Customer Support for assistance" message.
