Netflix Games Scraps Six Upcoming Indie Games From Their Roster Including Don’t Starve Together

Netflix recently made significant changes to its gaming lineup, removing six previously announced mobile titles. This unexpected shift impacts several anticipated games, including Don't Starve Together, Tales of the Shire, Compass Point: West, Lab Rat, Rotwood, and Thirsty Suitors.

Six Games Removed from Netflix Games:

Netflix's decision to drop these games reflects a strategic adjustment in its gaming portfolio. The company appears to be prioritizing narrative-driven games and titles based on its popular shows and movies over indie games. This change is further evidenced by the upcoming additions to Netflix Stories, featuring titles based on Ginny & Georgia and Sweet Magnolias.

While disappointing for those anticipating these games on the Netflix platform, most remain in development and will be released elsewhere. For example:

  • Don't Starve Together: Still launching on mobile via Playdigious.
  • Rotwood: Remains available on Steam in early access.
  • Tales of the Shire: Delayed to early 2025.
  • Compass Point: West: Surprisingly cancelled despite being an early announcement and developed by a Netflix-owned studio (Next Games).
  • Lab Rat and Thirsty Suitors: Their mobile releases via Netflix have been cancelled, but their availability on other platforms remains unchanged.

This strategic shift marks a notable change in Netflix's approach to mobile gaming, focusing on a more curated selection aligned with its core entertainment offerings. For a complete list of currently available Netflix Games, check the Google Play Store. For more Netflix news, explore the upcoming additions to Netflix Stories.
