Netflix has officially closed Boss Fight Entertainment, the studio behind its mobile hit “Squid Game: Unleashed,”marking another major shift in the streaming giant’s gaming strategy. The closure was confirmed by Boss Fight’s co-founder and former CEO, David Rippy, who announced the news on LinkedIn, expressing gratitude for the team’s journey with Netflix.
Founded over a decade ago, Boss Fight Entertainment was acquired by Netflix in 2022 as part of the company’s expansion into the gaming industry. The studio contributed to titles like “Netflix Stories” and “Squid Game: Unleashed,”both of which will remain available on the platform despite the shutdown.
David Luehmann, Director of Game Development at Boss Fight, also took to LinkedIn to acknowledge the closure, noting the end of “10+ great years” with the team. The move aligns with Netflix’s evolving gaming focus, which emphasizes developing party, narrative, kids, and mainstream games to strengthen its entertainment ecosystem.
Netflix, led by Co-CEO Greg Peters, has been investing heavily in its gaming division as part of a broader strategy to diversify revenue streams beyond streaming. The company recently appointed Alain Tascan as President of Games, signaling a renewed focus on content tied to its original series and franchises. During a recent earnings call, Peters highlighted “Squid Game: Unleashed” as a model for the kind of narrative-driven experiences Netflix aims to produce.
While Netflix did not immediately respond to requests for comment, the closure of Boss Fight Entertainment underscores the company’s ongoing effort to refine its gaming vision. As Netflix continues to integrate gaming with its popular shows, it aims to create immersive, story-based experiences that resonate with its global audience.
