The story behind the answer

Which video game studio did Netflix acquire in September 2021? Netflix acquired Night School Studio.

Founded in 2014 by Sean Krankel and Adam Hines, Night School Studio is an independent developer known for narrative-driven adventure games. Its debut title, Oxenfree, combines supernatural mystery with dialogue choices that shape relationships and events.

Netflix announced the acquisition on September 28, 2021, making Night School its first game-studio acquisition. The deal formed part of the company’s push into games, which Netflix planned to include with memberships without advertisements or in-app purchases.

The acquisition is often mixed up with Netflix’s later game-industry investments or with studios that remained independent. Annapurna Interactive is a publisher, Supergiant Games is an independent developer, and Mojang Studios belongs to Microsoft. Night School continued working on its Oxenfree franchise, including Oxenfree II: Lost Signals.
