With the last dying breath of Games For Windows Live comes the announcement of how BandaiNamco and others plan to deal with this obsolete piece of software no longer plaguing the lives of pc gamers everywhere.
As of October 22nd, the publishers for Dark souls announced that despite the death of Games For Windows Live the servers for Dark Souls will still be supported, albeit not on Games For Windows Live. According to BandaiNamco's Tumblr page, next month it will be possible for players to migrate their Dark Souls: Prepare to Die games, saves and achievements from the Games for Windows Live platform to Steam. It seems Games for Windows Live patrons will be allowed to redeem their Games For Windows Live tokens on Steam to get the Prepare To Die Edition of Dark souls for nothing extra. The Games for Windows Live tokens required in order to do this are found on the Us Xbox support page under prepaid codes.
During November, BandaiNamco will be allowing a period of time which users can transfer their Games For Windows Live characters and progress along with Achievements to their existing steam account. It's worth noting that after the migration period ends, gamers can still use their Games For Windows Live tokens. They can still get Dark souls: Prepare to Die edition for free but after this point save data and achievements will be no guarantee.
