US EditionDisney Removes A Bunch More Games From Steam With No Warning
The removals include two Star Wars titles, and existing owners can still download and play the games.
- On April 14, Disney quietly delisted 15 games from Valve's Steam platform without prior notice, marking the second time this year the company has removed a large collection of titles.
- Three months ago, Disney removed 14 other titles from Steam without explanation; the recent mass exodus includes over a dozen games, notably two Star Wars entries published directly by the company.

- For instance, Outlaws is currently on sale across competing digital storefronts, as some titles remain accessible on other platforms like PlayStation and Xbox.
- The company holds a $1.5 billion stake in Epic Games and is reportedly developing an extraction shooter in the vein of Arc Raiders, suggesting Disney may be shifting its gaming strategy.
