A curious issue has surfaced on Steam, with multiple users reporting that the upcoming RPG, Avowed, has vanished from their game libraries. Despite having confirmed purchases and the Steam store page indicating ownership, many gamers find the game missing from their accounts.
Reddit Users Report Disappearing Game
The issue was first highlighted in a Reddit post where a user stated that "Avowed has gone missing" from their library. Other users quickly responded, confirming they were experiencing the same problem. The original poster confirmed their purchase was still logged in their account and the store page still indicated that they owned the game, but it was nowhere to be found in their library.
Community Hub Access Also Affected
Adding to the confusion, some users noted that they are unable to access the community hub for Avowed either. "Something's up, I can't access the community hub for Avowed either it just redirects back to the store page," one user commented, further suggesting a wider issue with Steam's backend regarding the game.
Possible Explanations
While the exact cause remains unclear, one user offered the simple explanation that it is "Just Steam doing Steam things," implying a typical glitch or temporary bug. However, the scope of the issue suggests there may be more to it than a simple glitch.
Avowed's Imminent Launch
Despite this issue, the official Avowed page on X (formerly Twitter) has confirmed that the game is "officially one month out from launch" (See Tweet). It is expected that the game will be released within this timeframe, despite this latest issue.
