Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon to Depart Netflix Games
Netflix Games users will soon lose access to Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon, as announced by developer Yacht Club Games. While the game's removal is disappointing, Yacht Club has confirmed it will remain available on other platforms including Steam, Switch, and PlayStation 4.
The developers' Twitter announcement also revealed they are exploring additional distribution options, hinting at a potential standalone mobile release in the future. However, a concrete timeline for this remains unclear.
This departure highlights a key risk inherent in subscription gaming services: the lack of ownership and the dependence on developers for future availability. While Yacht Club likely has options for future releases, a return to a mobile platform independent of Netflix isn't guaranteed. We can anticipate further news sometime in 2025.
In the meantime, numerous other gaming options are available. Check out our latest list of top mobile games for alternative entertainment.
