GameMill Entertainment will remove Avatar: The Last Airbender – Quest for Balance from Steam at the end of December 2026. The reason is the end of the game's licensing agreement, according to a notice published by the publisher on the title's Steam page on November 4, 2026.
In the notice, GameMill says: “Avatar: The Last Airbender – Quest for Balance will be delisted from Steam at the end of December 2026 as our licensing agreement for this game has concluded.” The publisher also reassures existing owners: the game will remain in their library and will continue to be fully playable, without restrictions.
What happens to existing owners
Anyone who still wants a digital copy has until the end of December to buy it. GameMill has not given an exact removal date, and the notice mentions only Steam — there is, for now, no officially confirmed date for the PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch versions. Push Square lists the PS5 and PS4 versions for removal on December 31, and physical disc copies are not affected by the digital delisting.
Released on September 22, 2023 and developed by Bamtang Games, Quest for Balance is an action-adventure game that retells the story of the original animated series, with Aang and his friends solving puzzles and fighting across the show's best-known locations. Reception was cold: on Steam the game holds a “Mostly Negative” rating, with only 38% of 155 user reviews recommending it, according to this week's figures.
Not an isolated case
The departure of Quest for Balance is part of a wider clear-out of GameMill's catalogue: the publisher will also remove Hotel Transylvania 3: Monsters Overboard, Street Outlaws: The List and Street Outlaws 2: Winner Takes All by the end of 2026, all because their licences expired. Geekiki already covered the two Street Outlaws games here.
It is another reminder that, on digital stores, a purchase guarantees access only while the licence allows it — when the deal expires, the game leaves the shelf, even if it remains playable for those who already own it.
