Disney removes 13 games from Steam in 2026

In a recent development, Disney has removed 13 of its titles from the Steam gaming platform. The move is part of a broader trend in which Disney is reshaping its games portfolio, bringing the total number of delisted titles in 2026 to 27.

About Disney and its history in games

Founded in 1923, Disney is one of the world’s most iconic film studios and has seen major success with 17 films that have grossed more than $1 billion. Beyond its animated films, Disney has also acquired major brands including Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars. The games industry is nothing new for Disney; its first video game, Mickey Mouse, was released in 1981 on Game & Watch. However, Disney Interactive, its in-house developer and publisher, was shut down in 2016 after the Disney Infinity franchise ended.

The delisting of Disney games

The recently removed games range from old classics to titles based on newer films, and include:

• High School Musical 3

• Disney-Pixar's Brave

• Bolt

• Disney's Treasure Planet: Battle of Procyon

• Alice in Wonderland

• Chicken Little

• Disney Tangled

• G-Force

• Disney Universe

• Disney Princess: My Fairytale Adventure

• Disney Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

• Star Wars Rebellion

• Star Wars: Dark Forces

Notably, Disney has not yet commented on the reason behind the delisting. It remains unclear whether the removals are tied to licensing issues or whether Disney chose to pull less well-known titles.

The future of Disney games

There has been speculation that Disney’s decision to remove some of its games may be aimed at strengthening the value of its brand on Steam. Some analysts suggest the move could also point to a possible re-release or a Disney game collection in the future, though that seems unlikely given the variety of titles removed recently.

Disney’s approach to the games industry remains a topic of discussion, especially in light of its ongoing involvement with franchises like Kingdom Hearts, where Disney characters meet the Final Fantasy universe.

It is clear that Disney’s games portfolio and how it is positioned on platforms like Steam reflect the company’s broader strategies and priorities in the digital entertainment space.
