Steam, the PC gaming marketplace, made this year’s Dirty Dozen List for continuing to host games that NCOSE said contain sexual violence and exploitation, which the group noted young users can access. 

While NCOSE acknowledged that the platform removed many “Adult Only” games in the summer of 2025, it still hosts over 7,000 games that have a “Not Safe For Work” tag. Researchers for the anti-sexual exploitation group also found that Steam’s age verification process consists of users checking a box to confirm their age. 

Once users check the box, they can access content with “NSFW” and Adult Only tags, according to NCOSE. 

“Further, even children who are connected to family accounts are still able to view the previews of 18+ games, which are often sexually explicit and violent themselves,” NCOSE warned. “For example, previews our researchers were able to access included pornographic videos of women being raped, beaten, chained and tortured. These previews would not be hidden, no matter how diligent a caregiver was about activating Steam’s parental controls.”
