All NSFW games on itch.io have been delisted around July 24, 2025 12:00 AM. Roughly one hour before the mass delisting, leafo posted just “
” with no other message in the official Discord server. As of this writing, there has still not yet been an official announcement addressing this change.
Games that have been delisted cannot be found through search on the itch.io website, but you can still access the games if you have a direct link.
Plenty of people in the itch.io Discord are speculating that this is related to the Collective Shout campaign and payment processor rules. But, even if it were not, I think this represents a shift in the industry to become more repressive, which is why I’m posting it here.
Notably, itch.io was a platform once known for posting this, in the wake of Game Jolt banning adult games:
WARNING: ITCHIO IS NOT FOR PRUDES. IF YOU CLICK OUR LINK PLEASE BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT YOU MIGHT SEE
Right now, only 48 results appear if you filter by the adult tag.
