Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon Digs Out of Netflix Games
Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon is leaving Netflix Games, developer Yacht Club Games announced. While this is disappointing news for Netflix subscribers who enjoyed the game, it remains available on other platforms including Steam, Switch, and PlayStation 4.
The developers confirmed the departure on Twitter, stating they are exploring future options for the title. This suggests a standalone mobile release might be in the works, although a specific timeframe hasn't been given.

The Subscription Service Conundrum
The removal highlights a key risk inherent in subscription gaming services: limited ownership. Players are entirely reliant on developers to ensure continued access to games after removal from the service. While Yacht Club Games has indicated they are exploring options, a return to mobile platforms isn't guaranteed and may not be immediate. We'll be watching for potential news in 2025.
For now, numerous other gaming options are readily available. Check out our latest list of top mobile games for more alternatives!
