Creating new Account

Launch the game on Steam as you would any other game, then select the “CREATE” button to create a Wargaming account. Choose an appropriate nickname, klik “NEXT” and then hit “PLAY” to launch the game.

Transferring from Game Center

Launch the game on Steam as you would any other game, if your account is already linked you can proceed directly to play the game and should have retained your in-game progress – make sure to check!

Linking your Steam Account

If your Steam account is not linked to your existing account yet, klik op de “LINK ACCOUNT” button. Double check that you are using the same email address that you used in the Game Center.

Once you completed the link, you will automatically be logged into the linked account with every subsequent launch. Make sure to check whether you have retained your progress!
If your progress is lost, you need to check your account region and email address by following the instructions below.

Missing In-Game Progress

Eerst, check if the region and email address in the Steam Launcher and the Game Center match. Go to the Game Center and check your account region, it is displayed under the profile icon in the top left corner. Then open the Steam Launcher and check whether the regions match.

In case the email address and/or region are different, you will not be able to see your progress in Steel Hunters. To have the progress transferred to Steam you need to link the account you use for the Game Center with Steam – making sure to use the same email address and region.

Follow the instructions for your case to resolve the issue.
