If you had Star Wars: Dark Forces or Outlaws sitting in your Steam wishlist, that window has closed. Disney has quietly removed 15 more games from Valve's platform, and this time the cuts go deeper than a handful of forgotten film tie-ins.
This follows a near-identical move from January, when Disney pulled 14 games from Steam without a single press release or community post. No warning, no explanation, no farewell. The same playbook is in use here.
The full list of what just vanished
According to SteamDB, the 15 newly delisted games are:
- High School Musical 3
- Brave: The Video Game
- Bolt
- Disney's Treasure Planet: Battle of Procyon
- Disney's Alice in Wonderland
- Chicken Little
- Tangled
- G-Force
- Disney Universe
- Disney Princess: My Fairytale Adventure
- Disney Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
- Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier
- Star Wars: Rebellion
- Star Wars: Dark Forces
- Outlaws + A Handful of Missions
Most of these are film tie-ins from the 2000s and early 2010s that few people were actively playing. The Star Wars entries are a different story.
Why the Star Wars removals stand out
Star Wars: Dark Forces and Outlaws are the two names on that list that will actually sting. Here's the thing: both titles received remastered versions relatively recently, which is almost certainly why they are being pulled. The original versions likely conflict with licensing arrangements tied to those remasters. It is a pattern the industry has seen before, where the legacy release gets quietly buried once a shiny new version exists.
If you already own either game on Steam, you can still download and play them. The delisting only blocks new purchases.
Owning a delisted game on Steam does not mean you lose access. Your library copy remains intact and downloadable, but gifting or purchasing for others is no longer possible.
Outlaws is still available on Xbox and PlayStation storefronts, so it is not completely gone from the market. Dark Forces players chasing the original experience may need to look harder.
Outlaws delisted, still on consoles
Licensing is almost always the culprit
Disney has not commented publicly on either wave of delistings, but the pattern points squarely at licensing complications. Games built around films, TV properties, and franchises like Star Wars sit on a web of rights agreements that expire, get renegotiated, or become entangled when new versions of the same content arrive. What most players miss is that publishers do not always have the option to keep older versions on sale once a remaster or new licensing deal changes the terms.
The 29 total games pulled across both rounds span decades of Disney's gaming history, from late-90s strategy titles to mid-2000s movie cash-ins. The breadth suggests this is less a targeted cleanup and more a rolling audit of what Disney can and cannot legally keep selling.
Disney is not walking away from PC gaming
The delistings might look like a retreat, but the broader picture says otherwise. Disney holds a $1.5 billion stake in Epic Games, and reports indicate the company is developing an extraction shooter, reportedly targeting a November release window. Disney Dreamlight Valley and Epic Mickey 2 remain on Steam. The catalog is shrinking in some corners, but the company is clearly still investing in games as a business.
The key here is that Disney appears to be trimming its back catalog while simultaneously betting on new releases to carry its gaming presence forward. Whether that trade-off works out for players who valued the older library is a separate question entirely.
For anyone tracking which titles disappear and reappear across storefronts, the latest gaming news is worth keeping an eye on as this pattern shows no sign of slowing. With two mass delistings in three months and no official communication from Disney, a third wave is not out of the question. Keep your library backups current.
