Two popular video games, Helldivers 2 and Horizon Forbidden West, have suddenly vanished from the Steam store in the United Kingdom. This sudden disappearance has caught both publishers, PlayStation and Valve, off guard. In a statement, PlayStation confirmed they have reached out to Valve to resolve the issue. The UK listings for these games have been replaced with a message stating "An error was encountered while processing your request: This item is currently unavailable in your region."
This means users in the UK unable to buy or download any DLC for the games. Sony's representative apologized for the inconvenience and assured that they are working with Valve to address the issue. SteamDB reveals that Great Britain, the Isle of Man and the United Kingdom are among the regions where the games are currently unavailable.
The exact reason for this unexpected setback remains unclear. These games did not face similar restrictions when they were initially released, despite PlayStation's tendency to limit their published titles to regions where their PlayStation Network service is available.
