Is the game older, that no active links remain? In that case any up to date antivirus should find whichever malware might be embedded in the game easily.
Better yet, launch it in a VM with an antivirus
If you want to be very sure: no Internet connection. There are some ways to escape a VM, but its not very likely.
I'd believe that such a malware with those zero days would target higher value targets than gamers looking for 60€ entertainment.
