Steam, Epic face 90% access restrictions under Turkish platform regulations

Türkiye's Family and Social Services Ministry has drafted legislation that could impose severe access restrictions on major digital gaming platforms including Steam and Epic Games, potentially blocking 90% of user traffic if companies fail to establish local representation in the country.

The proposed law, currently under review by ministry officials and relevant parliamentary committees, would require gaming platforms exceeding a certain daily user threshold to open official offices in Türkiye and designate local representatives, according to details published Thursday by Turkish technology news outlet.

Platforms that refuse to comply would face bandwidth throttling of up to 90% imposed by Türkiye's Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK), effectively rendering the services unusable. At such reduced speeds, downloading a modern 100-gigabyte game could take months, making the penalty equivalent to a complete ban.
