Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon Digs its Way Out of Netflix Games
Unfortunately, following the positive news about Squid Game: Unleashed becoming free-to-play, Netflix Games subscribers face some disappointing news. Yacht Club Games has announced that Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon will be leaving the Netflix Games platform.
This was confirmed via a developer tweet, clarifying that the game will remain accessible on other platforms such as the Nintendo Switch, Steam, and PlayStation 4. However, this is little consolation for those who initially experienced the game through Netflix.
There's a glimmer of hope, though. Yacht Club Games stated they are exploring additional distribution options. A standalone mobile release seems likely, but a swift release shouldn't be expected.
A Poignant Reminder
The departure of Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon highlights a key risk inherent in subscription gaming services: reduced ownership compared to traditional digital purchases. When games are removed, players are entirely reliant on the developer to ensure future availability.
Assuming no contractual restrictions prevent it, Yacht Club Games likely has several avenues to explore. We anticipate potential re-release possibilities sometime in 2025.
For now, numerous other gaming options exist. Check out our latest list of top mobile games for alternative entertainment!
