Console to PC Account Transfer – Still Waiting After 1 Year

Dear Gaijin team and fellow players,

I’ve been waiting for over a year to transfer my console War Thunder account to PC. The service was briefly available but then suspended indefinitely in May 2024. Since then, there’s been no clear update or timeline for its return.

I understand that the transfer process may be complex and support-heavy, but the demand is still very real. Many of us have years of time, money, and progress invested in our accounts and would simply like to continue playing on PC with access to the full Gaijin store and features.

If the concern is overwhelming support requests, why not:

Implement automated transfer systems

Open transfers in waves or quotas

Create a paid priority queue option

Let users sign up for scheduled batches

Silence on this issue only grows the frustration and backlog. Please give us a clear roadmap, or at the very least, an update.

We’re not asking for free stuff, just a fair way to access what we already own, on the platform we want to play on.

Thank you.

– A loyal player (Console since [2022], now stuck on PC)

How much do you think someone should pay to have priority?

honestly, something like $15–30 USD sounds fair.

Maybe even have 2 tiers:

$15 for standard priority (changed in around a week)

$30 for express (changed in a few days)

Thanks for the figures. Did it used to cost money for a transfer before? If not, then the idea of paying to cut the line may generate some anger. Don’t you think it would upset players?

I have seen threads about transfers being paused indefinitely. I think even with dangling cash in their face they won’t budge.

Is stupidity to think that paying to have some priority is the right move, it’s like paying for a vehicle be added to the game, paying for a bug to be fixed, and paying to have support service.

Those are basic needs and need to be free the whole time 24/7 for the player. But considering the time this program is disabled, I wonder if it will ever come back again, but let’s hope for the best.

No, transfers didn’t used to cost anything. And you’re right — offering paid priority could make some players feel like it’s unfair or “pay-to-skip-the-line.” But that’s exactly why I suggested a tiered option, where the free method still exists, just with a longer wait time — and the paid one is purely optional.

I totally agree: basic support should be free. But Gaijin hasn’t offered any option — free or paid — for over a year. At this point, many of us are just trying to find any realistic path forward.
