The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is looking into games removed from Steam due to malware concerns. The agency has identified several infected games on the platform, including BlockBlasters, Chemia, and PirateFi. Players who downloaded these games between May 2024 and January 2026 are asked to fill out a form to report their experience. The FBI promises to keep victim information confidential.
A streamer’s story about BlockBlasters allegedly stealing $32,000 from him has sparked concerns. Meanwhile, Valve is not the target of this investigation, but it has been involved in a lawsuit in the UK over Steam’s monopoly allegations.
