Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon Digs its Way Out of Netflix Games
Netflix Games users will soon be saying goodbye to Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon. Developer Yacht Club Games announced the game's departure from the Netflix platform, though they reassured fans that it will remain accessible on other platforms including Steam, Switch, and PlayStation 4.
This news follows the recent positive announcement of Squid Game: Unleashed becoming free for all players. While the departure of Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon is disappointing for those who accessed it through Netflix, Yacht Club Games has stated they are exploring additional distribution options. A standalone mobile release is a strong possibility, though a precise timeline remains unclear.
The Shifting Sands of Subscription Services
The removal highlights a key risk inherent in subscription gaming services: the limited control players have over their game libraries. Unlike traditional purchases, subscription games are subject to removal at the discretion of the service provider or developer. This leaves players reliant on developers to ensure future accessibility.
Yacht Club Games has indicated they are pursuing further opportunities, suggesting a potential return in the future. While a 2025 return is possible, concrete details are yet to be revealed.
In the meantime, numerous other gaming options are available. Check out our latest list of top mobile games for some fresh alternatives!
