Netflix Shuts Down Oxenfree Dev Night School Studio as It Downscales In-House Game Teams

Netflix has shuttered two internal game development studios, Night School Studio and Moonloot, as it downscales its in-house operations to improve execution focus. Night School Studio is recognized for creating the Oxenfree narrative adventure series. Moonloot, founded in 2022, had no published titles but was reportedly developing a game inspired by Animal Crossing. This strategic move marks a significant reduction in the streaming giant's internal gaming capabilities and its approach to producing original titles.
