Arena, Daggerfall, Battlespire, and Redguard Now On Steam — April 26, 2022
As part of their ongoing move to sunset the Bethesda Launcher, Bethesda has brought many of their older titles to Steam. For The Elder Scrolls series, this includes Arena, Daggerfall, Battlespire, and Redguard. This follows yesterday's release of the Creation Kit for Skyrim Special Edition on Steam.
The version of Arena featured on the Steam store is the floppy disk version of the game, and the Steam version of Daggerfall is unpatched. Many community-compiled installers have been made for Arena and Daggerfall over the years that seek to offer a better installation experience. These installers are available on our Arena Files page and Daggerfall Files page. We also have an installation guide for Daggerfall Unity, a fan-made Daggerfall recreation.
It's also worth noting that Steam's version of Battlespire does not include that game's multiplayer mode, and the version of Redguard offered does not include HD Glide rendering. For these features, you will need to buy these games from GOG, where they have been available for purchase since 2015.
Update: Steam's version of Arena has been updated to the CD version, and Daggerfall has been updated to the latest patch (although it still lacks the CompUSA Special Edition patch). Redguard has also been updated to include Glide rendering.
