Netflix Stories Cancelled, Still Playable!

Netflix has officially announced the closure of its interactive fiction games under the Netflix Stories banner, marking the end of a brief foray into narrative gaming. This decision might come as a surprise to many, given the solid player base the games had garnered. So, what led to the cancellation of Netflix Stories? Let's dive into the details!

The news, initially reported by Variety, is part of a larger strategic pivot at Netflix Games. The company is now shifting its focus to mobile titles, including party games, kids’ games, mainstream releases, and more interactive experiences that can be enjoyed on TV screens.

Boss Fight Entertainment, the studio behind the Netflix Stories series, will continue to collaborate with Netflix on other projects, such as the upcoming Squid Game: Unleashed.

Netflix Stories Gets Cancelled: Is It Shutting Down?

Despite facing some criticism, Netflix Stories consistently ranked among the top-played games on the Netflix platform. Recent reports indicate it holds the fourth spot in the Netflix Games top 10 carousel, which ranks games based on playtime rather than downloads.

Looking ahead, the final interactive title in the Netflix Stories lineup will be Love Is Blind: NYC. Once this game is fully released, no new titles will be developed under the Netflix Stories banner. This announcement follows shortly after the Netflix Stories app began teasing its next game, The Love Contract, which was slated for an April 8th release.

Unlike its predecessors, The Love Contract was not based on any existing Netflix IP. It was an original romance story centered around an actress navigating a complex love triangle with a Hollywood star and a billionaire, set against a backdrop of fame, scandal, and fake dating. Unfortunately, this game has now been cancelled.

Despite the cancellation, existing Netflix Stories games will remain accessible. Fans can still enjoy titles such as Love Is Blind, Emily in Paris, Money Heist, Love Is Blind: Winter’s Kiss, Perfect Match, Sex Education, Selling Sunset, Sweet Magnolias, Virgin River, and The Perfect Couple. However, planned sequels for Outer Banks and Ginny & Georgia have been scrapped.

So, there you have it! If you're a fan of Netflix shows, you can still check out the available games on the Google Play Store.
