Bethesda added a handful of classic games to Steam, before its PC launcher was discontinued.
The publisher added five classic titles to Steam on April 26 (via Kotaku), four from the Elder Scrolls franchise and one from Wolfenstein. The best part? Three of those five games are free-to-play, so you can enjoy some of Bethesda's retro goodness.
The five games added are The Elder Scrolls Arena, The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard, An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire, and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.
All of these games are free on Steam except for Redguard and Battlespire, but both are a little over €5, so if you want to pick them up, you can do so for a relatively low price.

The addition of these games precedes the planned shutdown of Bethesda's PC launcher. The publisher is gradually migrating its PC titles to Steam, with the official shutdown scheduled for May 11.
Starting April 27, those who have already purchased games or have launcher money from Bethesda will be able to move their wallet and games to Steam. But you only have until May 11 to do it. As of this writing, Bethesda hasn't said what steps you need to take to do this.
(*6*)a long wait
Bien sûr, ce ne sont pas nécessairement les jeux les most populares des franchises Wolfenstein et Elder Scrolls, et ils vous sembleront probably assez maladroits et obsoletes pour jouer tenant, mais les ajouter à votre bibliothèque Steam ne vous coûte rien, alors autant leur donner un threw.
After all, it's good to remember Bethesda's roots, especially as we look forward to upcoming blockbusters like The Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield. While we don't have much to look forward to for Starfield, with the action RPG launching on November 11, it's not yet clear when we'll get our hands on the next Elder Scrolls. We're hoping that Bethesda will shed more light on the highly anticipated next entry in the Elder Scrolls series at Summer Game Fest 2022 or Gamescom 2022, but we're not holding our breath.
So while you wait, you might as well play an Elder Scrolls game that you may not have played before. After all, it's free, and it will probably make you appreciate more modern games (for better or worse).
