Steam has, without warning, ripped a popular 2K game off the online store just two years after it was released.
It was a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment especially if you’ve been enjoying all the huge AAA games that have gracedSteamover the last few weeks, likeHelldivers 2which is at anall-time highin terms of players and still growing.
Take a look atHelldivers 2below, it’s a lot of fun
Unfortunately it’s not all fun and games, as a popular wrestling game,WWE 2K22, has been delisted from the online store and other digital storefronts, and is now unobtainable to those who didn’t buy it before the takedown.

This isn’t a complete surprise, as the servers for the game were switched off earlier this year so if you were still playing you were unfortunately doing it alone. Previous WWE2Kgames have also suffered similar fates, mainly in an attempt to get players to buy the newest one, which will be WWE 2K24.
AlarminglyWWE 2K22 had the shortest lifespan in the series when considering the game’s launch and its delisting. This obviously sets quite a bad precedent for the next game, as well as raises the problem with annual releases in general.
WWE 2K24will launch on Xbox PlayStation and PC via Steam on 8 March later this year, and hopefully has a slightly longer lifespan than its predecessor, otherwise fans might be in for yet another surprise delisting.
