Summary
Chosen, the parent company of Nexus Mods, has acquired SteamDB. The popular Steam tracking site will continue operating as SteamDB under its own brand, remain free to use, and will not put existing features behind a paywall. Founder xPaw (Pavel Djundik) pointed to burnout and the rise of AI as factors in the move, describing a months-long transition. Affiliates may arrive later; new features have not been decided.
Key Points
- SteamDB keeps its name, brand, and free access to current features
- xPaw cited burnout and AI pressure behind the sale
- Transition has been underway for months
- Affiliate options may come later; no new features announced yet
