Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon is leaving Netflix Games. Developer Yacht Club Games announced the departure, stating they are exploring alternative distribution options. The game will remain accessible on other platforms, including Steam, Switch, and PlayStation 4.
While disappointing for Netflix subscribers who discovered the game through the service, Yacht Club Games has indicated they are considering future options, hinting at a possible standalone mobile release. However, a swift return isn't guaranteed.
A bittersweet farewell
The removal highlights a key risk inherent in subscription gaming services: reduced player ownership. The fate of the game now rests largely with the developer's ability to secure a new platform. Yacht Club Games has open options, barring any contractual restrictions, suggesting a potential future release (perhaps in 2025).
For now, numerous other gaming alternatives are available. Check out our latest list of top mobile games for some fresh options!
