Playdigious and Klei Entertainment are collaborating to bring the survival title to mobile platforms globally via the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. While a precise release date remains unannounced, the developers assure players that an official launch date will be revealed soon.

This, coupled with the removal of other indie exclusives, casts doubt on Netflix's continued commitment to the indie gaming community. The robust indie selection has been a significant draw for many Netflix Games subscribers, and its potential decline is a concerning development.
