Pretty sure a GPL game can include non GPL parts, software doesn’t need to all be released under a single license for everything in the package. Look at CDDA, bunch of different licenses apply to parts of that and its on steam.

I think you confuse two things here: Combining files in an archive with different licenses versus the source code that links and combines sources. GPL is about the source code. You can build a game that access other code in other licenses, otherwise no one in Linux could use Nvidia code in example. The final shipping product can mix GPL stuff and non GPL stuff, but cannot mix the code part that compiles.
