Can I use my old Wargaming.net account on Steam?
Unfortunately, you will not be able to use your existing account to log into World of Tanks via Steam. Initially, we never assumed that access to our game could be multi-platform and, to our great regret, we will not be able to provide access to existing accounts via Steam. At the same time, we tried to make the login process for our new players from Steam as simple as possible: logging into WoT will require a minimum number of additional actions from them. Thus, if you log into the game via Steam for the first time, a new account will automatically be created for you and linked to your Steam account. See you on the battlefield!
Will it be possible to log into the Steam client using my Wargaming.net ID?
It is not possible to log into the client using a Wargaming.net ID. If you want to continue using your Wargaming.net account, please download the game from the official portal.
Will I be able to play on the Steam client if my Wargaming.net account is linked to Steam?
If the first time you logged into the game wasn't from Steam, you won't be able to use this account. You will have to unlink it. To do this:
- Follow the link.
- Hover the cursor over the text to the right of the Steam icon and click Unlink.
When World of Warships was released on Steam, I registered a new account in World of Warships, will I need to register a new account again?
If you have not logged into World of Tanks using that account, then you can use it. Otherwise, you can't.
Can I contact Player Support to transfer my account to Steam?
Transferring accounts to another region or platform is currently not possible.
For most games, Wargaming accounts are linked to a specific region or a platform:
- Regions: RU, EU, NA, ASIA
- Platforms: PC, Xbox Live, PlayStation Network
To play in a different region or platform, you need to create a new account.
The Wargaming games available in Steam, App Store, Google Play, and other stores may allow linking an account to an existing account.
At the same time, game progress, game currency, and game assets can't be transferred in any case.
When registering an account, will the nickname be the same as the Steam account, or will I be able to choose it myself?
