Shovel Knight Spin-Off to Exit Netflix, Future Mobile Availability Possible

by Aria Jan 18,2025

Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon is leaving Netflix Games. Developer Yacht Club Games announced the news, stating they are exploring alternative distribution options.

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 only accessed it through Netflix.

Yacht Club Games has confirmed they are actively pursuing new avenues for the game's distribution. A standalone mobile release seems likely, though a specific timeline hasn't been provided.

A bittersweet farewell.The departure of Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon highlights a key risk inherent in subscription gaming services: limited ownership and reliance on developers for future accessibility. Unless contractual obligations prevent it, Yacht Club Games likely has several options for the game's future. We anticipate potential re-release in 2025.
