Bolsomito 2K18, later renamed Bolsomito, is a 2D beat 'em up video game by Brazilian developer BS Studios, released for Microsoft Windows in October 2018. The game is said to promote the ideology of Brazilian politician Jair Bolsonaro (also referred to as "Bolsomito"). His ideology, as well as the game, have been criticized for being racist, misogynistic and homophobic.[1][2]
The game's availability on Steam has caused Brazil's Public Ministry of Federal Districts and Territories to investigate BS Studios and Valve Corporation for potentially harming the upcoming Brazilian presidency election.[1][3]
