Warner Bros. Discovery's sudden removal of several Cartoon Network and Adult Swim games has sparked significant fan backlash. Without explanation, numerous titles have vanished from digital storefronts like Steam and the Nintendo eShop. This includes beloved games such as Steven Universe: Save the Light and Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time.
At least six games have been affected by this mass delisting, each displaying a message indicating publisher removal without further detail. The move is linked to Warner Bros. Discovery's cost-cutting measures, a strategy previously seen in the shelving of films and removal of content from streaming platforms. A similar incident occurred in March 2024, targeting Adult Swim games, although public pressure prevented some titles from being delisted then.
The delistings, first noted by Wario64 on Twitter on December 23rd, 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
Interestingly, some Cartoon Network Games, such as Cartoon Network Journeys VR and Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake, remain available. The soundtrack for OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes is also still for sale.
The oldest game affected, Adventure Time: Finn and Jake's Epic Quest, debuted in April 2014. Other titles were released in 2018 (Steven Universe: Save the Light, OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes) and 2021 (Steven Universe: Unleash the Light). The removal of Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time, which offered a canonical conclusion to the show's fifth season, has particularly angered fans. Warner Bros. Discovery has yet to provide a reason for these delistings. The lack of warning and explanation has fueled considerable fan disappointment.
