Time to RAGE about it<\/h2>

Bethesda’s upcoming Rage 2<\/em> looks to not be launching on Steam. Similar to Fallout 76<\/em>, the game will first hit Bethesda’s own launcher service before making its way to Valve’s digital marketplace (if it even does come). Other digital retailers such as Green Man Gaming<\/a> and Fanatical<\/a> have warnings that keys purchased through them will not work on Steam and it looks like the retail release will also be the same.<\/p>

While Fallout 76<\/em> hasn’t been particularly good for Bethesda, it does make sense that the company would be willing to gamble with its biggest releases on a proprietary launcher. With Epic Games also following suit with certain titles, this could finally light a fire under Valve’s ass to get Steam into a better place.<\/p>

At any rate, if you do intend to grab the PC version of Rage 2<\/em> and are dedicated to Steam, just know you’ll be in for a wait.<\/p>

You can only preorder Rage 2<\/em> for Bethesda’s launcher right now, not Steam<\/a> [PC Gamer]<\/p>
