Don't Starve Together: Mobile Release Confirmed, Not on Netflix

It's been a while since we last discussed the exciting news about Don't Starve Together coming to Netflix Games, announced back in June 2024. Unfortunately, we have some disappointing news: Don't Starve Together will no longer be available on Netflix. However, there's a silver lining—Don't Starve Together is still set to launch on mobile platforms for iOS and Android users.

Playdigious, in collaboration with Klei Entertainment, is diligently working to bring the eerie, Tim Burton-esque world of Don't Starve to your mobile devices. In this survival game, you'll find yourself stranded on an island teeming with hostile creatures. Playing as one of several quirky characters, your goal is to gather resources, survive, and, above all, *don't starve*.

Originally planned as an exclusive release for Netflix Games, Don't Starve Together will now be accessible globally through Google Play and the iOS App Store. Although a specific release date hasn't been confirmed yet, both Klei Entertainment and Playdigious have assured fans that more details on the launch are forthcoming.

The decision to move away from Netflix exclusivity raises questions about the platform's future commitment to indie games. Don't Starve is a significant title within the indie survival genre, and its shift away from Netflix could signal broader implications for other indie titles on the service. The recent departure of other indie exclusives, such as Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon, further fuels these concerns.

The loss of Don't Starve Together from Netflix is unfortunate, especially considering the platform's indie catalog has been a major draw for many subscribers.
