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

by Sebastian Jan 05,2025

Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon is leaving Netflix Games. Developer Yacht Club Games announced the news on Twitter, stating they are exploring other options for the title.

The game will remain available on other platforms, including Steam, Switch, and PlayStation 4. While this is good news for existing players on those platforms, it's undoubtedly disappointing for those who accessed it through Netflix.

Yacht Club Games hinted at future possibilities, suggesting a standalone mobile release might be in the works. However, a concrete timeline remains unclear.

The Implications of Subscription Services

The departure of Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon highlights a key risk associated with subscription gaming services: the lack of ownership and the dependence on developers for continued access. Unlike purchasing a game outright, subscribers have no guarantee of long-term access.

Yacht Club Games likely has several avenues to explore, barring contractual limitations. We can anticipate potential future availability, perhaps in 2025.

Meanwhile, numerous other gaming options are readily available. Check out our latest list of top mobile games for alternative entertainment!
