Another Steam Game Gets Removed Over Malware
Valve has removed the free-to-play survival-horror game Beyond the Dark from Steam after YouTuber Eric Parker exposed it for containing malware designed to steal player data. The game was previously uploaded under the name Rodent Race in December 2024, suggesting an attempt to bypass security checks. The FBI is investigating similar incidents of malware on Steam and has asked players who downloaded infected games between May 2024 and January 2026 to report it.
