Does this game require a Bethesda account?

[space]

did you read store page?

Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: Denuvo
Requires 3rd-Party Account: Bethesda.net (Supports Linking to Steam Account)
Requires agreement to a 3rd-party EULA
DOOM Eternal EULA

[Ⓙ]

When you get to the screen asking you to sign up/sign in just disconnect your internet. After about 5-10 seconds it will give you a message saying you can't connect and will skip it and you can play the single player campaign.

But you cannot play or take part in online/multiplayer modes unless you sign in or make an account.

Actually I was going to ask the same question for the simple reason that Bethesda has announced that it will be retiring its launcher, so there is the possibility that a change is imminent.

Thanks this is useful information.

I think we will still need Bethesda accounts to run Bethesda games.

I reckon they are getting rid of the Bethesda launcher because since Microsoft took over, future Bethesda games will be on gamepass from day 1. Publishers would probably prefer us all to move to gampass/streaming models soon. Before too long our Bethesda accounts might get rolled into our Microsoft accounts (as what happened recently with Mojang/Minecraft accounts).

This is definitely the case.

There's a conversation to be had on whether using other digital storefronts is more cost effective than creating your own, but without financial information from each dev/pubs C-Suite strategy meetings its probably speculation at this point.

uh no, the faq states it will still require bethesda account

Q: Will I still need a Bethesda.net account if I no longer use the launcher after transferring to Steam?
A: Yes. Many of our games and services still rely on you to have a Bethesda.net account. This will allow you to retain access to Bethesda.net services including game mods, in-game items like skins, and access to exclusive news and updates.

Imagine asking someone "did you not read" then failing to read the correct answer.

You do not need a Bethesda.net account to play the single player campaign.

You only need a Bethesda.net account to access multiplayer/online features.

No you didn't clarify anything you came in with a snarky response and failed to offer any real help or solutions. Then when someone did you felt the need to ignore the fact the topic had already been answered and ran your mouth again repeating yourself.

So yeah, learn to read.

"does this game require bethesda account?"
"yes", it says it on the store page

"does this game require bethesda account after bethesda launcher retirement?"
"also yes", it says it in the faq about bethesda launcher retirement

the only one "running your mouth" is you

so, again, learn to read

Please learn to read, you're embarrassing yourself. :laughing_yeti:

"You do not need a Bethesda.net account to play the single player campaign."

You only need a Bethesda.net account to access multiplayer/online features.

it never "required" it for single player as it can be played offline (and only if you disconnect your internet connection), it will still prompt you for bethesda account login on launch; in the past, now, and after bethesda launcher retirement

it changes nothing, the game still requires a bethesda account
