Netflix 即将关闭两家游戏工作室
Netflix is closing two game studios. Night School Studio and Moonloot Games are being shut down as Netflix focuses more on TV-based party games. Netflix 即将关闭两家游戏工作室。随着 Netflix 将重心更多地转向电视端派对游戏，Night School Studio 和 Moonloot Games 将被关闭。
Netflix plans to shut down two of its gaming studios, as reported by Game File and Variety, as it makes a bigger shift toward party games and titles streamed to TVs. 据 Game File 和《综艺》(Variety) 报道，Netflix 计划关闭其旗下的两家游戏工作室，此举标志着该公司正进一步向电视端派对游戏及流媒体游戏转型。
One of the studios being shut down is Night School Studio, creators of the Oxenfree series. Netflix bought Night School in 2021, and it just released a horror experience called Unhinged for TVs and launched a mobile game in 2025 tied to Black Mirror. The other studio that’s set to close is Helsinki-based Moonloot Games, which was created in 2022. 其中一家被关闭的工作室是《Oxenfree》系列的开发商 Night School Studio。Netflix 于 2021 年收购了该工作室，他们近期刚为电视平台发布了一款名为《Unhinged》的恐怖游戏，并于 2025 年推出了一款与《黑镜》(Black Mirror) 相关的移动端游戏。另一家即将关闭的工作室是位于赫尔辛基的 Moonloot Games，该公司成立于 2022 年。
Netflix’s big push into TV-based games kicked off late last year and was a pivot from a mobile-focused approach that featured prestige indie titles. But Netflix has let many of those indie hits leave its mobile lineup as it focuses instead on four pillars of kids, party, narrative, and “mainstream” games. Netflix 对电视端游戏的重大投入始于去年年底，这标志着其战略从以精品独立游戏为主的移动端优先策略进行了转型。然而，随着 Netflix 将重心转向儿童、派对、叙事和“主流”游戏这四大支柱，许多曾经的独立游戏佳作已从其移动端阵容中下架。
“As we continue to prioritize these areas, we see an opportunity to be more focused in our execution, so we are making organizational changes to the business to match those priorities,” Netflix spokesperson Chrissy Kelleher tells The Verge. Netflix is also eliminating “some” additional roles in its games business, according to Kelleher. The cuts include Tara Voelker, who says she was the “single accessibility person” on the gaming team. Netflix 发言人克丽丝·凯勒赫 (Chrissy Kelleher) 对 The Verge 表示：“随着我们继续优先发展这些领域，我们看到了在执行上更加聚焦的机会，因此我们正在对业务进行组织架构调整，以匹配这些优先事项。”据凯勒赫透露，Netflix 还将在其游戏业务中裁减“部分”额外职位。此次裁员包括塔拉·沃克 (Tara Voelker)，她表示自己曾是游戏团队中“唯一的无障碍功能负责人”。
Last year, Netflix shut down the studio behind a Squid Game mobile title and sold Cozy Grove studio Spry Fox back to its original owners. In 2024, Netflix closed down a AAA studio that never released a game. 去年，Netflix 关闭了负责开发《鱿鱼游戏》(Squid Game) 移动端游戏的工作室，并将《Cozy Grove》的开发商 Spry Fox 出售回给了其原所有者。2024 年，Netflix 还关闭了一家尚未发布任何游戏作品的 3A 级工作室。
