Don't Starve Together is still coming to mobile, but not to Netflix

Don't Starve Together's Mobile Debut Confirmed, Netflix Release Cancelled

Recent news brings both positive and negative updates regarding the release of Don't Starve Together. While the game's planned arrival on Netflix Games has been cancelled, the good news is that a mobile launch on iOS and Android is still happening.

Playdigious and Klei Entertainment, the developers behind the game, remain committed to bringing the survival title to mobile devices via Google Play and the iOS App Store. The eerie, Tim Burton-esque world of Don't Starve, where players must gather resources and survive as quirky characters, will soon be available globally. Although a precise release date remains unannounced, an official announcement is forthcoming.

Netflix's Shifting Focus

The cancellation of the Netflix Games release suggests a potential shift in Netflix's strategy regarding indie game partnerships. The loss of Don't Starve Together, a highly acclaimed and iconic survival game, raises concerns about the platform's future commitment to the indie development community. This, coupled with the removal of other indie titles like Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon, casts a shadow on the future of Netflix Games' indie game selection.

Netflix's robust indie game catalogue has been a significant draw for many subscribers. However, a growing emphasis on Netflix's own IP might indicate a potential decline in the number of indie titles offered on the platform.
