Bethesda’s Very Own Digital Distribution Platform

Bethesda Launcher is a game utility software by Bethesda Softworks LLC. The game platform showcases some of Bethesda’s exclusive computer games and other contents that cannot be found from other digital distribution platforms in the market.

A Well-Experienced Game Company

Bethesda Softworks LLC is a video game publishing company based on the United States. The company started as Media Technology’s division in 1986 by Christopher Weaver. It eventually became ZeniMax Media’s subsidiary in 1999. Bethesda eventually forms Bethesda Game Studios in 2001 from its in-house development team, eventually leading to the formation of Bethesda Softworks LLC. The video game publishing company is well-recognized titles such as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Fallout 3, Wolfenstein: The New Order, Dishonored, Quake Champions, and Rage as well as the remake of Doom and Prey. Despite their success for the past few decades, Bethesda Softworks LLC still facing issues like the poor services of Fallout 76 and the redundant ports of Skyrim to various platforms.

New Exclusive Titles To Play

There is no need to repurchase the game or reacquire any game keys if users have to reinstall them on a new computer. Some older id Software games like Doom and Quake that only ran on MS-DOS are optimized for modern computers. Users can wait for more games to come. Unfortunately, Steam has already dominated the digital distribution platform for the past 2 decades. Bethesda has to catch up as the games library is limited with only Bethesda games and no third-party games are available.
