Valve will ban games that trade NFTs from the platform

Steam has updated its onboarding page for partners and Steamworks users, clarifying that Valve will soon ban games that trade NFTs from the platform. Under the heading "what you shouldn't publish on Steam," a new rule states that "applications based on blockchain technology that enable the issuance or exchange of cryptocurrencies or NFTs" should not be distributed on the platform.

Game developers are reporting that their games that use NFTs are being removed from the platform. One example of this is the game Age Of Rust, in which players collect NFTs in-game. The game tweeted on its main account that "Steam will be kicking all blockchain games off the platform, including Age Of Rust. " The Age Of Rust's Twitter account adds that its understanding is that "Steam takes the stance that items have value, and they do not allow items on their platform that may have real-world value."

Mir4 is one of the affected games

Numerous games on Steam currently incorporate NFTs and cryptocurrencies into their gameplay. One of them is Mir4, a free-to-play open world Asian-fantasy MMORPG where users can earn using NFTs found in the game.  One of the players told Cryptonary that they can't make any purchases using their steam wallet anymore. A community manager in the Discord of Mir4 also explained the only way the game could be back on Steam is by either removing the function entirely from the Steam client or the whole game.

Aside from an update to Steamworks rules and policies, Valve has yet to comment on its stance towards NFT games.

Steam may be banning blockchain games, but the future of gaming and crypto is unstoppable. NFTs and crypto-powered economies are revolutionizing how players earn and trade in-game assets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
