Netflix has announced that a bunch of games that are usually available to subscribers through its Netflix Games service will be going away. While games going off the service is quite common, Netflix is losing quite a few of its heavy-hitters this time around, including critically-acclaimed titles like Katana ZERO, Braid Anniversary Edition, and the Monument Valley trilogy.
Starting July 2025, a host of games will be leaving the service, with July 14 being the “last day to play” for fans of titles like Hades and The Case of the Golden Idol and its sequel. According to What’s On Netflix, these removals account for around 20 percent percent of games available on Netflix Games. Check out the full list of titles being removed below.
For players that might make use of the service to play some of these premium mobile games, the titles in question will start displaying a “Leaving Soon” badge on their icons, giving players plenty of notice that they will be losing access to these games.
“Just like with series and film, games will be removed from Netflix as licenses expire,” said the company in a prior statement. “Players will notice a ‘Leaving Soon’ badge and be notified by the app itself well in advance of removal.”
While plenty of games are leaving the service, the report indicates that Netflix doesn’t yet plan to slow down its investment in its gaming divisions. Rather, the company reportedly wants to aim its investments towards big-screen experiences from this year onwards. Mobile games will still be coming to the service in the meantime, however.
Hades was released on iOS through Netflix Games back in March 2024. The port, made in collaboration between original developer Supergiant Games and Secret6, is compatible with iPhones and iPads running on iOS 16 or later.
Interestingly, reports from back in January 2024 indicated that Atlus was looking to spin-off its RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, with a new mobile game that would be available through Netflix Games. Atlus is known for expanding on its popular franchises quite extensively, with games like Persona 3, 4 and 5 all getting spin-offs, sequels, and even anime and movie adaptations. Metaphor: Refantazio getting its own franchise expansion should come as no surprise.
In the meantime, Netflix Games still has several critically-acclaimed titles, including Civilization 7, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas – The Definitive Edition, and Dead Cells: Netflix Edition.
