Nexus Mods acquires SteamDB

In a strategic move, Nexus Mods has acquired SteamDB, a popular Steam data-tracking site. Despite the undisclosed terms of the deal, both companies have confirmed that SteamDB will continue to operate under its own name, brand, and community. SteamDB founder Pavel xPaw Djundik and Nexus Mods announced the acquisition on September 2 through separate statements.

Djundik, who co-founded SteamDB in 2013, acknowledged that maintaining the site had become an ever-increasing self-inflicted workload. He began searching for a partner in January, emphasizing the importance of finding a team that understands the responsibility of being the resource the community depends on. Nexus Mods itself was acquired by Chosen in June 2025, with founder Robin Dark0ne Scott expressing the decision as necessary for both his and the community's best interests.
