How to fix Bethesda not working
Bethesda is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach bethesda.net over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Reload and restart
Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.
Try another connection
Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not Bethesda.
Update the app
Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.
While Bethesda is down: what to use instead
- Steam If your copy is on Steam, launch it from that library; single-player modes may still open even when the publisher's account page is down.
- Xbox app Open the Xbox app and start an installed game you own there; online sign-in may still fail.
- PlayStation Store Start a purchased game from your PlayStation library if the app or account site will not load; offline modes can work.
- Disc install Use a disc install and play offline; patches and multiplayer wait on the service.

How we track Bethesda
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Bethesda, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Bethesda, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Bethesda doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
