Acclaimed 10-player co-op platformer Pico Park is being delisted, after it was accidentally made permanently free last year
Pico Park: Classic Edition, the critically acclaimed cooperative puzzle platformer, is being delisted from digital storefronts following an accidental violation of platform policies. Originally released in 2016 by developer Tecopark, the title will soon be removed from availability, giving players a limited window to claim it for free.
The situation began in October 2025 when Tecopark inadvertently made the game permanently free. The developers made this unintended decision while updating the title, unaware they were violating Steam’s platform rules regarding permanent free offerings. The game remained freely available for nearly a year without immediate enforcement action.
The delisting announcement appears to have followed an update released in September 2026 that added online multiplayer support for 2-10 players and refreshed the game’s graphics to align with newer entries in the Pico Park franchise.
Pico Park: Classic Edition is known for its unique cooperative gameplay, supporting up to 10 players in puzzle-platforming challenges that demand coordination and communication. The title has earned critical acclaim within the cooperative gaming community since its original launch.
The situation underscores the complexities of digital distribution and how unintentional missteps regarding platform policies can result in significant consequences. Despite the free availability, the violation of Steam’s terms of service has led to the delisting decision. Players interested in the title should move quickly to claim it while still available.
