Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon is leaving Netflix Games. Developer Yacht Club Games announced the news, stating they are exploring future options for the title.
The game will remain available on other platforms, including Steam, Switch, and PlayStation 4. This is undoubtedly disappointing for those who initially accessed the game through Netflix.
However, Yacht Club Games has confirmed they are actively pursuing alternative distribution methods. A standalone mobile release is a likely possibility, though a firm release date is not yet available.
A bittersweet farewell. The departure of Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon highlights a key risk inherent in subscription gaming services: limited player ownership. Removal from the service leaves players reliant on the developer for future access.
Yacht Club Games has various options, assuming no contractual limitations exist following their departure from Netflix Games. We can anticipate potential future availability, possibly in 2025.
In the meantime, numerous other gaming options are readily available. Check out our latest list of top five new mobile games for more suggestions!
