Star Trek: Resurgence Will Likely Be Delisted Very Soon
Star Trek: Resurgence, a narrative adventure game published by Brunerhouse that launched on Nintendo Switch in August 2025, is set to be delisted due to an expired license agreement. While the publisher announced the impending removal via a Steam statement, no specific delisting date has been provided, and the title remains available on the Switch eShop at time of writing.
The delisting reflects broader industry challenges stemming from escalating licensing costs. According to reports from late 2025, Paramount dramatically increased its Star Trek licensing fees—potentially by as much as 2000%—following its merger with Skydance. This significant shift in the company’s licensing strategy has reportedly contributed to the decision to remove the game from digital storefronts.
The situation underscores ongoing concerns about game preservation and digital availability. Third-party titles relying on entertainment licenses face increasing financial pressure, making it economically unviable to maintain digital distribution. While Brunerhouse’s announcement did not explicitly specify all affected platforms, the scale of licensing cost increases suggests the Switch version—and potentially other versions—will be removed from sale.
