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 news on Twitter, stating they are exploring future options for the game.

The game will remain available on other platforms, including Steam, Switch, and PlayStation 4. While this is good news for those who own it elsewhere, it's a setback for players who only accessed it through Netflix.

Yacht Club Games' exploration of further options hints at a possible independent mobile release. However, a quick return isn't guaranteed. This situation highlights a key risk of subscription gaming services: limited ownership and reliance on developers for continued access.

With no apparent obstacles (like non-compete clauses), a potential return in 2025 is possible. In the meantime, numerous alternative games are available. Check out our list of the top five new mobile games this week for some fresh options!
