Netflix has announced the closure of its interactive fiction games under the Netflix Stories banner, marking the end of a brief but intriguing experiment in narrative gaming. This decision might come as a surprise to many, given that the games boasted a solid player base. So, why did Netflix decide to pull the plug on Netflix Stories? Let's dive into the details!
The news, initially reported by Variety, aligns with a larger strategic pivot at Netflix Games. The company is shifting its focus towards mobile titles that include party games, children's games, mainstream releases, and more interactive experiences designed for TV play.
Boss Fight Entertainment, the creative force behind the Netflix Stories series, will continue to collaborate with Netflix on other projects, including the much-anticipated Squid Game: Unleashed.
Despite facing some criticism, Netflix Stories consistently ranked among the top-played games on Netflix. Recent data shows it holding the fourth position in the Netflix Games top 10 carousel, which is based on playtime rather than downloads.
Looking at the future of the series, the last interactive title to be released will be Love Is Blind: NYC. Once this game rolls out, no new titles will be developed under the Netflix Stories banner. This decision comes right after the Netflix Stories app teased its next game, The Love Contract, set for release on April 8th.
Unlike previous entries that were based on existing Netflix IPs, The Love Contract was an original romance story centered around an actress navigating a complex love triangle with a Hollywood star and a billionaire, amid fame, scandal, and a faux relationship. Unfortunately, this game has now been cancelled.
While new development has ceased, existing Netflix Stories games will remain accessible. Players can still enjoy titles like Love Is Blind, Emily in Paris, Money Heist, Love Is Blind: Winter’s Kiss, Perfect Match, Sex Education, Selling Sunset, Sweet Magnolias, Virgin River, and The Perfect Couple. However, planned sequels such as Outer Banks and Ginny & Georgia have been cancelled.
So, there you have it—the full story on why Netflix Stories is no more! If you're a fan of Netflix shows, you might want to check out the game on the Google Play Store before it's too late.
