The Steam2 content server dump first came to light on Saturday and spread quickly on social media. Steam2 was Valve’s previous content distribution system, which was phased out after the introduction of SteamPipe in 2013. Valve used Steam2 to deliver game updates through its Steam digital store, which launched in 2003. This leak allegedly contains data from a Steam2 content server and spans the decade between 2003 and 2013. It’s unclear exactly who is responsible for the leak. However, Valve content creator Scolcer claimed that the data was not hacked, but was found publicly available on an unprotected website (via Google Translate). This was corroborated by another Valve-focused content creator, Gabe Follower. “This is not piracy, I just verified that everything on Steam2 Teraleak was obtained through public access [sic] final point. It’s Valve’s fault…” Gabe Follower posted on are sharing screenshots and videos of their discoveries on social media Mashable Top Stories So far, the finds include a beta version of Left 4 Dead 2, files that appear linked to the canceled game Half-Life 2: Episode Three, cut content from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, data on the canceled Portal prequel F-Stop, and unreleased but playable versions of Portal 2, including dialogue, plot, and other features that didn’t appear.

V, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, Mafia II, Spec Ops: The Line, and Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II Basically, if a game was on Steam in 2013 or earlier, it was probably included in the leak. According to SteamDB, Steam hosted 2,122 games in 2013. No doubt a lot more information will be discovered as people continue. tracking the data. Still, it will likely take some time. In 2024, approximately 1 terabyte of data was leaked from Nintendo’s servers in an incident dubbed “Teraleak,” followed by a second release a year later. Although the Teraleak was significantly smaller than the Valve leak, fans continued to get new information even as late as last month.
