Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon is leaving Netflix Games. Developer Yacht Club Games announced the news, stating they are exploring future options for the game.
The game will remain available on other platforms, including Steam, Switch, and PlayStation 4. This is undoubtedly disappointing news for those who initially accessed the game through Netflix.
However, Yacht Club Games has indicated they're investigating additional distribution avenues. A standalone mobile release is a strong possibility, though a specific timeframe hasn't been confirmed.
A Bittersweet Farewell The departure of Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon highlights a key risk inherent in subscription gaming services: reduced ownership compared to traditional digital purchases. When games are removed, players are reliant on the developer for future access.
Yacht Club Games likely has several options available to them, assuming no contractual restrictions exist following their departure from Netflix Games. A potential return in 2025 is possible, though unconfirmed.
In the meantime, numerous other games are available. Check out our latest list of top mobile games for more options!
