"Netflix Stories Canceled, Yet Still Playable!"

Netflix has announced the closure of its interactive fiction gaming platform, Netflix Stories, marking the end of an intriguing yet brief foray into narrative gaming. This decision, which might come as a surprise to many given the solid player base the games had amassed, prompts the question: why did Netflix Stories get cancelled? Let's dive into the details to understand this move fully.

The cancellation was first reported by Variety and is part of a larger strategic pivot at Netflix Games. The company is now shifting its focus towards developing mobile titles in genres like party games, kids’ games, mainstream releases, and more interactive experiences designed for TV play.

Boss Fight Entertainment, the studio behind the Netflix Stories series, will continue its collaboration with Netflix on other projects, including the much-anticipated Squid Game: Unleashed.

Netflix Stories Gets Cancelled, So Is It Shutting Down?

Despite receiving some criticism, the games under the Netflix Stories banner have consistently ranked high among the most-played titles on the Netflix Games platform. According to recent reports, the series sits fourth in the Netflix Games top 10 carousel, which ranks games based on playtime rather than downloads.

As for the future of the series, Love Is Blind: NYC will be the final interactive title released under the Netflix Stories banner. Once its rollout concludes, no new games will be developed in this series. This announcement comes on the heels of the Netflix Stories app teasing its next game, The Love Contract, which was slated for an April 8th release but has now been cancelled. Unlike previous games, 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 involving a Hollywood star and a billionaire amidst fame, scandal, and fake dating.

Although the development of new Netflix Stories games has been halted, existing 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 will remain available for players to enjoy. However, planned sequels for popular shows like Outer Banks and Ginny & Georgia have also been cancelled.

That's the full story on the cancellation of Netflix Stories! If you're a fan of Netflix shows and want to explore these interactive experiences, you can still find them on the Google Play Store.
