Netflix Closes Game Studio in California

It would seem as if another studio has fallen victim to the shutdowns within the gaming industry. Netflix’s game studio in Southern California has officially shut down less than two years after opening.

The news was first broken by Stephen Totilo of Game File and comes amidst a fickle industry of layoffs.

Started in 2022, the studio, internally known as “team Blue”, was created alongside all of the other ventures Netflix has as the company has invested its money into many different avenues over the last few years. However, it looks as if gaming might be a bust for the popular streaming service.

The company had made some big hires over the last few years, hinting at some next-level gaming hardware and games to come in the future. With names like former Halo creative lead Joseph Staten and more joining the team, many believed that Netflix had its foot well within the door of the gaming world.

Now, though, the company is officially shutting down its California studio, wiping out the entire team that was created. All of this has been confirmed by a Netflix representative to Totilo.

What’s Next?

This leaves many with the question: What’s next? Will Netflix continue to stride towards success in the world of game development? Or will they put their money elsewhere?

While this ultimately might close some doors for the company, Netflix is still one of the largest streaming platforms out there. One studio closing will more than likely not hurt the company in hindsight.

Will we ever get to know what the Netflix game studio was working on, though?

A bummer for those that were let go. It seems that while there are many layoffs in the industry, there is a lot of hiring too. Hopefully they find something soon.
