Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon Seeks New Mobile Home

Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon is leaving Netflix Games. Developer Yacht Club Games announced the departure, stating they are exploring other distribution options. The game will remain available on Steam, Switch, and PlayStation 4.

While disappointing for Netflix subscribers, Yacht Club Games' statement suggests future availability on other platforms, possibly including a standalone mobile release. However, a quick return isn't guaranteed.

Game Removal Highlights Subscription Service Risks

The removal highlights a key risk of subscription gaming services: reduced player ownership. When games are removed, players rely entirely on the developer for future access. While Yacht Club Games likely has options, a return isn't guaranteed until further announcements are made. We anticipate potential availability sometime in 2025.

In the meantime, numerous other games are available. Check out our list of the top five new mobile games this week for alternatives!
