Spec Ops: The Line Delisted from Digital Storefronts: Can You Still Play?
Spec Ops: The Line, a game infamous for its shocking twist, has been delisted from major digital storefronts such as Steam, the PlayStation Store, and the Microsoft Store. However, fans can still get their hands on a copy and experience the thrilling story that made this game a cult classic.
Why Was Spec Ops: The Line Delisted?
The reason behind the game's delisting is that license agreements with the developer, Yager, the publisher, 2K, or the storefronts themselves have expired without being renewed.This means that the game could return to digital storefronts if the license deals are brokered again, but it's unclear if that's something Yager and 2K are interested in pursuing. No official announcement was made regarding the game's delisting, but websites like Eurogamer reported on the individual storefront versions being delisted and reached out to 2K for clarification.
Can You Still Download Spec Ops: The Line?

On the PlayStation Store, you can view your transactions, find the game, and download it again, as long as it's available in your purchase history.

- Second-hand stores like CEX in the UK sell copies of the game for £3.50-£6.
- eBay also has listings for the game worldwide, allowing you to pick up a physical copy for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
