Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon is leaving Netflix Games. Developer Yacht Club Games announced the departure, but confirmed the game will remain available on Steam, Switch, and PlayStation 4. While this is disappointing news for Netflix subscribers who played the game through the service, Yacht Club Games is exploring additional distribution options. A standalone mobile release is a possibility, though a specific timeframe hasn't been announced.
Can you dig it? The removal highlights a key risk of subscription gaming services: reduced ownership compared to traditional digital purchases. When games are removed, players rely on the developer to re-release the title elsewhere. Yacht Club Games has open options, and a potential return in 2025 is possible. Until then, numerous other mobile games are available. Check out our list of the top five new mobile games this week!
