SteamDB Acquired by Nexus Mods
On September 2, 2026, it was announced that SteamDB has been acquired by Nexus Mods. The acquisition comes after xPaw, the current owner of SteamDB, expressed a need to step back due to burnout from maintaining the project. Under Nexus Mods' ownership, SteamDB will continue as an independent entity and retain its free offerings for users. Additionally, the browser extension associated with SteamDB will remain supported. Nexus Mods aims to explore potential synergies between the two communities in the future while ensuring that both platforms operate separately. The move is expected to provide stability and continued development of SteamDB's services without disrupting user access or functionality.
