Netflix ditches five other upcoming releases alongside Don\'t Starve Together

Author : Jason Mar 15,2025

Netflix Games is canceling five upcoming titles, adding to the recent cancellation of Don't Starve Together. Tales of the Shire, Rotwood, Compass Point: West, Lab Rat, and Thirsty Suitors are no longer slated for release on the platform, according to What's on Netflix, citing an internal source. These cancellations are part of a broader restructuring of Netflix Games' lineup.

What's on Netflix also points to a recent Netflix investor call highlighting a shift towards narrative-driven games, aligning with the success of their Netflix Stories anthology. This suggests a prioritization of games that directly promote their streaming content.

This news is disappointing, particularly the cancellation of Tales of the Shire, a highly anticipated title leveraging the popular Lord of the Rings brand. This reinforces the impression that only Netflix-branded or tie-in games are secure on the platform. The broader implications suggest a less diverse gaming catalog moving forward.

Given these developments, now might be a good time to revisit our ranking of the top 10 best games currently available on Netflix Games. While the selection may be shrinking, some truly excellent titles remain.
