Trover Saves the Universe Delisted From Major Digital Stores

SteamDB records a publisher-requested retirement with no public explanation, raising long-term access and preservation worries.

Overview

  • The game was removed from Steam, Epic, Meta Quest, Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo storefronts and reported by multiple outlets after being first flagged on the ResetEra forum.
  • SteamDB shows an “app_retired_publisher_request” event that marks the title as retired at a publisher’s request but does not explain the reason for removal.
  • Squanch Games has issued no public statement or advance notice about the delisting, leaving players uncertain whether the removal is temporary or permanent.
  • Physical copies of Trover are scarce because the title never had a wide retail run, so the digital removal could make the game hard for new players to obtain over time.
  • The game’s co-founder Justin Roiland provided extensive voice work while he was at Squanch Games, but available reporting finds no confirmed link between his past controversies and this delisting; related Squanch titles remain available.
