Don't Starve Together: Mobile Launch Confirmed, Netflix Plans Scrapped

Recent news brings both positive and negative updates regarding the release of Don't Starve Together. The game, initially announced for Netflix Games in June 2024, will not be arriving on the streaming service. However, the good news is that a mobile release on iOS and Android is still on track.

Developed by Klei Entertainment and Playdigious, Don't Starve Together will now see a global launch on Google Play and the iOS App Store. This Tim Burton-esque survival game challenges players to gather resources and survive the perils of a hostile island. The exact release date remains unannounced, but both developers promise an update soon.

Netflix's Shifting Indie Focus?

The cancellation of Don't Starve Together's Netflix exclusivity raises questions about the platform's future commitment to indie games. The game's significant popularity and iconic status in the survival genre make its absence notable. This, coupled with the removal of other indie titles like Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon, suggests a potential shift in Netflix Games' strategy. A greater emphasis on Netflix's own IP might be detrimental to its previously strong indie game library. For a more detailed perspective on this trend, see my analysis of the launch of Squid Game: Unleashed.
