Bethesda is planning to shut down its PC launcher later this year, according to a new article shared by the company that explains how users will be able to migrate their existing game libraries, in-game content, and wallet balance to Steam.

MS already has most of it's games on steam so this seems lind of normal, I also believe that most bethesda games were already on steam.

Still the bethesda launcher always seemed to have FPS issues on my machine so not too ssad to see it go.
