The Federal Bureau of Investigation has opened an investigation into malware discovered in several PC games distributed through Steam, according to reporting carried by Yahoo News.
The agency believes a single threat actor was responsible for embedding malicious software into multiple games published on the platform over a defined period.
The timeframe identified by investigators spans from May 2024 to January 2026, during which users may have downloaded and installed the affected titles.
The FBI has stated that individuals who installed and played these games could have been impacted and is requesting that potential victims come forward.
As part of the investigation, the FBI is collecting information from users, including details such as Steam account identifiers, the specific games downloaded, and any financial or account-related impact experienced after installation.
The purpose of this outreach is to identify victims and support the ongoing federal investigation into the distribution of malware through the platform.
The investigation remains ongoing.
