Cartoon Network Games Vanish from Steam Store

Feb 11,25

Warner Bros. Discovery's sudden removal of several Cartoon Network and Adult Swim games from digital storefronts has sparked significant fan backlash. The publisher offered no clear explanation for delisting at least six titles, leaving fans unable to legally purchase these beloved games.

This action is consistent with Warner Bros. Discovery's recent cost-cutting measures, which have included shelving films and removing content from streaming services. A similar delisting event occurred in March 2024, affecting Adult Swim games, though public pressure prevented some titles from being removed.

The December 23rd, 2024 delistings, reported by Wario64, impacted several popular titles across platforms like Steam and the Nintendo eShop. These include:

  • Adventure Time: Finn and Jake's Epic Quest
  • Adventure Time: Magic Man's Head Games
  • OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes
  • Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time
  • Steven Universe: Save the Light
  • Steven Universe: Unleash the Light

Each game displayed a message indicating its removal from sale, attributed to Cartoon Network Games or Adult Swim Games. Notably, some Cartoon Network titles remain available, such as Cartoon Network Journeys VR and Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake, along with the soundtrack for OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes.

The oldest game affected, Adventure Time: Finn and Jake's Epic Quest, launched in April 2014. Other titles were released between 2018 and 2021. The lack of explanation, particularly concerning the removal of Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time – whose game content is considered canon to the show's finale – has fueled fan outrage and calls for accountability from Warner Bros. Discovery.
