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

Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon is leaving Netflix Games. Developer Yacht Club Games announced the departure, stating they are exploring future options for the title.

The game will remain available on other platforms including Steam, Switch, and PlayStation 4. This news follows the recent positive announcement of Squid Game: Unleashed becoming free for all players.

While disappointing for Netflix subscribers who accessed the game through the service, Yacht Club Games confirmed they are investigating additional distribution avenues. A standalone mobile release is a likely possibility, though a concrete timeline remains unclear.

A bittersweet farewell. The removal highlights a key risk inherent in subscription gaming services: reduced player ownership compared to traditional digital purchases. Removal from the service leaves players dependent on the developer for future access.

Yacht Club Games has open options, suggesting a potential return in 2025 is possible. Until then, numerous alternative games are available. Check out our list of the top five new mobile games for more suggestions!
