CN Games Delisted: Popular Titles Removed from App Stores

Feb 11,25

Warner Bros. Discovery's sudden removal of several Cartoon Network and Adult Swim games has sparked significant backlash from fans. Without explanation, at least six titles have been delisted from digital storefronts like Steam and the Nintendo eShop. This leaves players unable to legally purchase these popular games.

The delistings are attributed to Warner Bros. Discovery's cost-cutting measures, a strategy previously seen in the shelving of films and removal of content from streaming services. A similar incident occurred in March 2024, involving Adult Swim games, where public outcry resulted in some titles being reinstated. However, this latest wave of removals includes beloved titles such as Steven Universe: Save the Light, Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time, and several Adventure Time games.

The games removed on December 23rd, 2024, 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 remain available, including Cartoon Network Journeys VR and Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake, along with the soundtrack for OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes. The lack of explanation from Warner Bros. Discovery, Cartoon Network Games, and Adult Swim Games has fueled fan frustration, particularly regarding Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time, whose removal effectively cuts off access to the show's canonical season five conclusion. The oldest game affected, Adventure Time: Finn and Jake's Epic Quest, debuted in April 2014. The others were released between 2018 and 2021.
