Two popular games published by 2K were removed from Steam without any explanation. Both games had very positive evaluations.
Published by 2K Ollolli World And RollerdromeUnexpectedly removed from Steam. Although both games have very positive user evaluations, no warning was made about this. These games, which were released in 2022 and developed by Roll7, were quietly deleted from digital stores after major changes in the Private Division, where 2K is connected.
The future of 2K games is uncertain
Although Steam pages are currently accessible, both games are listed in the store as “not available”. A similar situation is happening on other platforms. Ollolli World is removed from Nintendo Eshop and Microsoft Store. Rollerdrome was removed from Microsoft Store, while Nintendo Switch was never published. Interestingly, both games can still be purchased at the PlayStation Store. However, it is unclear how long this will take.
No explanation has yet been made as to whether the games will be available again. The fact that Private Division’s closure at the end of 2024 and the transfer of Take-Two’s shares in this studio makes the future of both games uncertain.
In recent years, the removal of games from digital stores has become a common situation. Due to reasons such as publisher changes, rights losses or studio closure, players may lose access to their favorite games. For example, Scott Pilgrim etc. The World: The Game has been removed from digital stores over the years and re -published by Ubisoft after fascinating reactions.
This shows once again that digital games are not as reliable as physical copies. Currently, players who have Ollolli World and Rollerdrome are not affected by this, while these two games are not accessible for those who are thinking of buying newly.
The fact that no official announcement has yet been made by 2K or Private Division has been disappointed among players. While the uncertainty about the future of the games continues, fans hope that these productions will be re -sold with another publisher. In this process, the fact that PlayStation users can access games may be an opportunity for other platform users.
