Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon is leaving Netflix Games. Developer Yacht Club Games announced the departure, stating they are exploring future options for the game.
The game will remain accessible on other platforms, including Steam, Switch, and PlayStation 4. This news follows the recent positive announcement that Squid Game: Unleashed will be free for all players.
While disappointing for Netflix subscribers who discovered the game through the service, Yacht Club Games confirmed they are investigating alternative distribution methods. A standalone mobile release is a likely possibility, though not expected immediately.
The Implications of Subscription Service Games
The removal highlights a key risk inherent in subscription gaming services: reduced player ownership. Unlike traditional game purchases, subscription games are subject to removal, leaving players reliant on developers for future access.
Yacht Club Games likely has several options, provided there are no contractual restrictions following their departure from Netflix Games. A potential return in 2025 remains a possibility.
For now, numerous other games are available. Check out our list of the top five new mobile games this week for alternatives!
