Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon is leaving Netflix, but the devs are exploring options to keep it available on mobile

Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon is leaving Netflix Games. Developer Yacht Club Games announced the departure, stating they are exploring other distribution options. The game will remain available on Steam, Switch, and PlayStation 4.

While this is disappointing news for Netflix subscribers who played the game through the service, Yacht Club Games offers a glimmer of hope, confirming they are investigating alternative avenues for distribution. A standalone mobile release is a likely possibility, though a firm timeline remains unclear.

Farewell, for now... This removal highlights a key risk inherent in subscription gaming services: players have even less control over their game library compared to traditional digital purchases. The game's future rests entirely with the developer's ability to find a new home for it.

Yacht Club Games likely has several options available, provided there are no contractual limitations following their departure from Netflix Games. We can anticipate potential future availability, perhaps in 2025.

For now, there are many other games to explore. Check out our top five new mobile games this week for some fresh alternatives!
