Helldivers 2 and Horizon Forbidden West Mysteriously Delisted From Steam in the UK, Sony Promises to "Address the Issue" with Valve
Sony says the delisting is an error as it works with Valve to restore access to the two games.
- Helldivers 2 and Horizon Forbidden West disappeared from Steam's UK store, with purchase screens displaying "An error was encountered while processing your request: This item is currently unavailable in your region."
- Initially, fans suspected Sony Interactive Entertainment was intentionally moving away from Steam publishing; the company has made noises about shifting PC strategy this year, fueling speculation about a deliberate delisting.
- Players who already own the two titles retain full access and can still launch them without issues; however, the games remain available for purchase on American Steam, isolating the problem to the UK region.
- A Sony Interactive Entertainment spokesperson said, "We are working with Valve to address the issue. We apologize for the inconvenience." Both companies are collaborating to resolve the delisting error.
- The timeline for returning the games to Steam remains uncertain, though the delisting coincides with a major patch update for Helldivers 2 scheduled to launch on September 22, 2026.
