Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon is leaving Netflix Games. Developer Yacht Club Games announced the news, stating they are exploring other distribution options. The game will remain available on Steam, Switch, and PlayStation 4.
While disappointing for Netflix subscribers, Yacht Club Games confirmed they are investigating further possibilities, hinting at a potential standalone mobile release. However, a quick turnaround shouldn't be expected.
A bittersweet farewell. This removal highlights a key risk of subscription gaming services: limited ownership and reliance on developers for future availability. While Yacht Club Games likely has options, a return to a different platform may not be immediate. We can hope to see it reappear sometime in 2025.
In the meantime, numerous other games are available. Check out our list of the top five new mobile games this week for some alternatives!
