Netflix Closes Game Studio Behind 'Squid Game: Unleashed'
October 25, 2025 - 01:45
In a significant shift in its gaming strategy, Netflix has announced the closure of Boss Fight Entertainment, the video game studio it acquired in 2022. The studio was responsible for developing the mobile game "Squid Game: Unleashed," which was inspired by the popular Netflix series. Despite the initial excitement surrounding the acquisition and the potential for expanding its gaming portfolio, the streaming giant is refocusing its efforts in the gaming sector.
This decision comes as part of Netflix's broader strategy to streamline operations and concentrate on projects that align more closely with its core business. The closure of Boss Fight Entertainment marks a notable moment in the company's journey into the gaming industry, which has seen both successes and challenges since its inception. As Netflix continues to explore new avenues for growth, the gaming landscape remains a key area of interest, albeit with a refined approach moving forward.
