Oxenfree to Be Removed from Itch.io Permanently in October

Users must download the game by October 1 to retain access, with Netflix's ownership speculated as a factor in the removal.

Oxenfree, an acclaimed adventure game by Night School Studio, will be completely removed from Itch.io on October 1, 2024.
Users who previously purchased the game on Itch.io have until the removal date to download and preserve their copies.
The game has already been delisted for new purchases from Itch.io but remains available on other platforms like Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Netflix, which acquired Night School Studio in 2021, is speculated to be the driving force behind this removal.
This move underscores the uncertainty of digital ownership and the control distributors have over access to purchased content.
