Shovel Knight: Mobile Future Uncertain as Netflix Drops Game

Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon Digs its Way Out of Netflix Games

Netflix Games users will soon lose access to Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon, developer Yacht Club Games announced. While this is disappointing news, the game will remain available on other platforms including Steam, Switch, and PlayStation 4.

The developer's Twitter announcement also revealed they are exploring additional distribution options. This suggests a potential standalone mobile release is being considered, though a timeframe hasn't been confirmed.

The removal highlights a key risk inherent in subscription gaming services: limited ownership and reliance on developers for future access. While Yacht Club Games likely has several options, the game's return remains uncertain. A potential return in 2025 is possible, but not guaranteed.
