Why we think so
1 point against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
It has been submitted by more than 2,800 sources since it was first seen on Aug 6, 2025. The sandbox runs returned a clean combined verdict with no high-risk techniques. The file is unsigned, but nothing in the evidence points to malicious behaviour.
None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, including all 18 major antivirus engines that reported on it. It is widely distributed, with 2,861 distinct submitters since Aug 6, 2025, which fits a released game build. The combined sandbox verdict was clean and no high-risk techniques. The only network contacts were the analysis machine's own background traffic. The antivirus analysis found no packer, and malware reference databases have no listing for this hash.
What We Detected
None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this executable. The antivirus analysis found no packing or high-entropy code. There were no matches in MalwareBazaar, community YARA rules or the CIRCL hash lookup. The file is unsigned.
Threat Behavior
The combined sandbox verdict was clean. Only techniques common in legitimate software were recorded. No injection into other processes was observed. The only network contacts were background traffic from the analysis machine, and none of the hosts we checked are known to be malicious.
What To Do Now
The file appears to be an ordinary game executable shared by thousands of users. Download it only from the official store or the developer's page, and keep your antivirus enabled.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
