Dark Souls Migrating to Steam in November
In an effort to provide continued support to Dark Souls fans, FromSoftware and Bandai Namco have worked tirelessly to make it possible for these supporters to migrate their Dark Souls: Prepare to Die games, saves, and achievements from the Games for Windows Live platform to Steam.
Pertinent details about the migration option from Games for Windows Live to Steam include:
- Games for Windows Live users will be able to redeem their Games for Windows Live Tokens on Steam to get Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition at no additional cost. To find your Games for Windows Live Token, head to the support webpage at: http://support.xbox.com/en-US/billing/prepaid-codes/locate-games-for-windows-live-tokens
- In the month of November there will be a period by which Games for Windows Live Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition users will be able to transfer their Save Data (character & progress) and Achievements over to their Steam accounts.
- Players will still be able to use their Games for Windows Live Tokens to redeem the Steam version of Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition at no additional cost even after the migration period ends; but game Save Data and Achievements transfer functions may not be available.
- Games for Windows Live Rankings will not be transferred to Steam.
The specific migration start and end dates will be available soon; however the migration period will begin sometime in November with more specific dates to come.
