Disney has unexpectedly removed over a dozen games from the Steam platform, including two Star Wars titles and several others from its extensive catalog. This action marks the second time in 2023 that Disney has delisted games without warning, having previously removed 15 titles in April. Notably, the games taken down include Disney's High School Musical 3: Senior Year Dance and Star Wars: Dark Forces. While existing owners can still access their games, new buyers are left without options. Speculation has arisen regarding Disney's potential shift towards exclusivity with Epic Games, following a $1.5 billion investment in the company. This partnership could mean that more Disney titles might become exclusive to the Epic Games Store in the future, raising concerns among gamers about accessibility to beloved titles.
