Netflix Cancels 'Stories', Game Still Available to Play

Netflix has officially announced the end of its interactive fiction games under the Netflix Stories banner, marking the closure of a brief yet intriguing experiment in narrative gaming. Despite having a solid player base, the decision to cancel Netflix Stories has raised many eyebrows. So, why did Netflix pull the plug? Let's dive into the details!

The news, first reported by Variety, is part of a larger strategic shift at Netflix Games. The company is now pivoting its focus towards mobile titles that include party games, kids' games, mainstream releases, and more interactive experiences designed for TV play.

Boss Fight Entertainment, the creative force behind the Netflix Stories series, will continue to collaborate with Netflix on other projects, including the highly anticipated Squid Game: Unleashed.

Netflix Stories Gets Cancelled, So Is It Shutting Down?

Despite facing some criticism, Netflix Stories consistently ranked among the top-played games on the Netflix platform. Recent reports place it fourth 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 rolled out, no new titles will be developed under the Netflix Stories banner. This announcement comes shortly after the Netflix Stories app began teasing its next game, The Love Contract, which was slated for an April 8th release. Unlike previous entries, The Love Contract was an original romance story about an actress navigating a complex love triangle with a Hollywood star and a billionaire amidst fame, scandal, and fake dating. Unfortunately, this game has now been scrapped.

Although the development of new Netflix Stories games has ceased, existing titles will remain accessible. Fans can still enjoy games like 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 such as Outer Banks and Ginny & Georgia have been cancelled.

That's the full story on the cancellation of Netflix Stories! If you're a fan of Netflix shows, you can still check out these games on the Google Play Store.
