The Steam gaming platform was the target of four waves of DDoS attacks over the past week.
The attacks took place hours before Tencent's Black Myth: Wukong game broke a Steam record of most concurrent users.
Chinese security firm QiAnXin says the attack disrupted Steam servers in 13 regions, but none of the waves lasted more than five hours.
The attacks were most likely designed to prevent the game from breaking Steam's record.
