This move is part of a broader restructuring of Netflix's gaming division, which includes shutting down Moonloot Games and unspecified job cuts. The company stated it is refocusing on kids' games, party games, narrative experiences, and mainstream titles, despite previously investing heavily in studios like Night School and Boss Fight Entertainment.
