Netflix to Shut Down Two Game Studios Amid Shift to Party Games

13 Ağustos 2026The Verge

Netflix is set to close two of its gaming studios as part of a strategic pivot towards party games and titles designed for TV streaming. Among the studios affected is Night School Studio, known for the popular Oxenfree series, which Netflix acquired in 2021.
The decision comes shortly after Night School released a new horror game titled Unhinged.
Netflix has been expanding its gaming division in recent years, aiming to diversify its content beyond traditional streaming. The closure of these studios may reflect the challenges the company faces in establishing a foothold in the competitive gaming market, where it must balance quality content with audience demand.
This move signals Netflix's intention to streamline its gaming offerings and focus on more accessible, social gaming experiences. By shifting towards party games, Netflix may be attempting to capture a broader audience and enhance user engagement on its platform.
