Netflix Stories Cancelled, Yet Playable

Netflix has officially announced the closure of its interactive fiction games under the Netflix Stories banner, marking the end of a brief yet intriguing venture into narrative gaming. This decision comes as a surprise, especially considering the solid player base these games had cultivated. So, what led to the cancellation of Netflix Stories? Let's dive into the details.

The news was initially confirmed by Variety and is part of a larger strategic pivot at Netflix Games. The company is now shifting its focus towards mobile titles, including party games, games for kids, mainstream releases, and other 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, So Is It Shutting Down?

Despite facing some criticism, Netflix Stories consistently ranked high among the most-played titles on the Netflix Games platform. According to recent reports, it secured the fourth spot in the Netflix Games top 10 carousel, which ranks games based on playtime rather than downloads.

Looking ahead, the last interactive title to be released under the Netflix Stories banner will be Love Is Blind: NYC. Once this game is fully rolled out, no new titles will be developed under this series. This announcement came shortly after the Netflix Stories app began teasing its next game, The Love Contract, slated for an April 8th release. Unlike its predecessors, The Love Contract was an original story about an actress navigating a romance between a Hollywood star and a billionaire, amidst fame, scandal, and fake dating. Unfortunately, this project has now been scrapped.

While no new Netflix Stories games will be produced, the 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 those for Outer Banks and Ginny & Georgia have been cancelled.

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