If I have fallout76 fully installed from the Bethesda application can I directly transfer that over to steam?

[Tobias]

I have wastelanders downloaded and up to date on Bethesda, i would like it on steam but do i really need to add the whole download for a game that is already installed under another client?

any tips would be appreciated!

Kind of? You could try to add a shortcut through Steam using the whole 'add a non-steam game to library': https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2219-YDJV-5557

Otherwise, I wouldn't try copying/pasting/creating a library and all that jazz from Bethesda's directory to Steam. If you -really- want it installed properly through Steam, delete the previous install from Bethesda's launcher and re-install under Steam's launcher. I'd just uninstall/reinstall to avoid any headaches/make it simple.

Thats what I think/know at least.

Copy the Fallout76 folder from bethsda launcher install location to steam install location, click 'install' in steam, it scans the files, done!

The only caveat--if you have any Atom Store credits or a Fallout 1st subscription, they will not be accessible in Steam (you can thank Steam for that, not Bethesda). You may want to coordinate cancelling Fallout 1st on Bethesda's launcher (then re-subscribing from Steam) and spending all your Atoms in the Bethesda launcher before installing the game on Steam.

After the Steam version is installed it's a simple .ini tweak from 1 to 0 to switch back to Bethnet version.
