Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon Digs Out of Netflix Games
Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon is leaving Netflix Games, developer Yacht Club Games announced. While this is disappointing news for Netflix subscribers who enjoyed the game, it will remain available on other platforms including Steam, Switch, and PlayStation 4.
The developers confirmed the departure on Twitter, adding that they are exploring future options for the game. A standalone mobile release is a strong possibility, though a timeframe hasn't been confirmed.
The Subscription Service Conundrum
The removal highlights a key risk inherent in subscription gaming services: limited ownership and reliance on developers for continued access. While Yacht Club Games has indicated they are pursuing alternative distribution avenues, there's no guarantee of a quick return. A potential re-release in 2025 is a possibility, barring any contractual limitations.
In the meantime, numerous other gaming options are available. Check out our latest list of top mobile games for some exciting alternatives!
