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 this is positive news for existing players on those platforms, it's disappointing for those who accessed the game solely through Netflix.
Yacht Club Games has confirmed they are investigating future possibilities, hinting at a potential standalone mobile release. However, a swift release shouldn't be expected.
The Takeaway: The removal highlights a key risk inherent in subscription gaming services: reduced ownership compared to traditional digital purchases. Players become reliant on developers to ensure future accessibility after a game's removal.
Yacht Club Games likely has several avenues open to them, assuming no contractual restrictions exist following their departure from Netflix Games. We anticipate potential future availability, possibly in 2025.
Meanwhile, numerous other gaming options are readily available. Check out our latest list of top five new mobile games for alternative entertainment!
