GameMill Delists Quest for Balance from Steam
The Avatar: The Last Airbender game will leave Steam at the end of December 2026 after its licensing agreement expires.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Gaming
GameMill Entertainment will remove Avatar: The Last Airbender -- Quest for Balance from Steam at the end of December 2026. The delisting follows the expiration of the game's licensing agreement, though previously purchased copies will remain playable.
Why it matters
Players who have not yet bought the game have a limited window to purchase it on Steam before it is removed. The move comes as the franchise's newer fighting game, Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game, has expanded across multiple platforms in 2026.
Steam classifies the game's overall player reception as Mostly Negative based on 158 reviews, and the PC edition holds a Metacritic User Score of 4.1/10 from 35 ratings. The announcement does not address whether the license will be renewed or the game returned to the storefront.
