Netflix Cancels Stories, Keeps Old Content Available

Author : Logan Apr 27,2025

Netflix has made a surprising decision to cancel its Netflix Stories franchise, a series known for its narrative-driven games. Popular titles such as Love is Blind, Perfect Match, and Virgin River will remain accessible to players, but no new entries will be developed.

This news, initially covered by our sibling site, carries significant implications for Netflix's gaming strategy. From a player's perspective, it raises questions about the future direction of Netflix Games. Initially, it appeared that Netflix was shifting its focus from indie games to narrative-driven experiences that could complement its television and film content. However, the abrupt cancellation of Netflix Stories suggests a potential change in this strategy.

Someone will payWhile it's premature to speculate on drastic changes like turning Netflix Games into a separate subscription service, as noted by Craig on .biz, the performance of Netflix Stories was notably lower compared to other popular releases like GTA: San Andreas and Squid Game Unleashed.

Given this context, it's likely that Netflix may pivot back to focusing on ports and new, more engaging releases outside the narrative genre. Recent insights from Paige on .biz suggest that party games could be the next big addition to their catalog. This topic was discussed by Will and me on the latest episode of the Pocket Gamer Podcast, so stay tuned for more details.

Despite these shifts, there's still a wealth of games to explore. Check out our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week for some exciting options!
