It's been a while since we last discussed the exciting news that Don't Starve Together would be coming to Netflix Games, announced back in June 2024. We now have a mix of news to share with you. The downside is that Don't Starve Together will no longer be available on Netflix. However, the silver lining is that this beloved game is still set to make its way to mobile devices on both iOS and Android platforms.

Playdigious, in collaboration with Klei Entertainment, is diligently working to bring Don't Starve Together to mobile. This game, known for its eerie, Tim Burton-esque aesthetic, challenges players to survive on an island teeming with hostile wildlife. As you take on the role of various quirky characters, your goal is to gather resources and, above all, *don't starve*.

Originally planned as an exclusive release on Netflix Games, Don't Starve Together will now be accessible globally through Google Play and the iOS App Store. While a specific release date has yet to be announced, both Klei Entertainment and Playdigious have assured fans that an update on the launch is forthcoming.

No Netflix for You

It appears that the exclusivity agreement with Netflix has fallen through. Although it's reassuring to know that Don't Starve Together will still reach a global audience on mobile, one can't help but question what this means for Netflix Games' future commitment to indie titles. Don't Starve is a significant franchise and one of the most iconic survival indies out there. If even a game of this caliber can lose its exclusivity, it raises concerns about the platform's dedication to the indie gaming community.

Netflix's indie game catalog has been one of its standout features, and it's disappointing to see this shift. For further insight into my thoughts on this matter, take a look at my analysis of the launch of Squid Game: Unleashed, where I discuss why Netflix's growing emphasis on its proprietary titles might be detrimental to the thriving indie scene it has nurtured so far.
