Netflix Pulls Five Additional Releases Amid Don't Starve Together Delay

Author : Lucas Update:Feb 18,2025

Netflix Games Cancels Five More Upcoming Titles

Following the recent cancellation of Don't Starve Together, Netflix Games has announced the cancellation of five additional upcoming titles. These cancellations, confirmed by What's on Netflix citing an internal source, represent a significant shift in the streaming service's gaming strategy.

The cancelled games include Tales of the Shire, Compass Point: West, Lab Rat, Rotwood, and Thirsty Suitors. These titles are either indefinitely shelved or will be released on other platforms.

This move aligns with Netflix's recent investor call, which highlighted a focus on narrative-driven games that promote their existing streaming content, similar to their successful Netflix Stories anthology.

This news comes as a surprise, although a shift towards Netflix-branded content was anticipated. While the cancellation of titles like Don't Starve Together and Compass Point: West might be less shocking, the cancellation of Tales of the Shire, a highly anticipated title leveraging the popular Lord of the Rings brand, suggests that even established IPs are not immune to cuts. This sets a concerning precedent for non-Netflix-related games on the platform.

With this reshuffling, now might be a good time to explore our ranking of the top 10 best games currently available on Netflix Games. While the selection may be changing, several excellent titles remain, at least for the time being.
