Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon Digs Out of Netflix Games
Prepare for a departure: Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon is leaving Netflix Games. Developer Yacht Club Games announced the news, stating they are exploring alternative distribution options.
This follows the recent positive news of Squid Game: Unleashed becoming free-to-play. While Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon will be removed from Netflix, it will remain accessible on other platforms such as Steam, Switch, and PlayStation 4.
Yacht Club Games assures fans they are investigating further avenues for the game's availability. A standalone mobile release is a strong possibility, although a precise timeframe remains unclear.
The Subscription Service Conundrum
The removal highlights a key risk inherent in subscription gaming services: reduced player ownership. When games are removed, players are reliant on the developer to re-release the title elsewhere.
Yacht Club Games likely has several options, provided there are no contractual limitations following their departure from Netflix Games. A potential return in 2025 is a possibility.
Meanwhile, numerous other gaming choices are available. Check out our latest list of top mobile games for more options!
