Netflix Is Delisting Over 20 Games From Its Mobile Library Next Month, Including Hades And Death’s Door

As spotted by Engadget, Netflix is removing over 20 games from its mobile library next month. The list of titles on the chopping block includes heavy hitters like Hades, the Monument Valley series, and Death’s Door.

On July 15, 22 titles, which require a Netflix subscription to play, will exit the service. Some games, such as Hades, were only available on mobile devices through Netflix, so it’s unclear if they’ll become available on other mobile storefronts. Although July 15 is the removal date, some titles will disappear before then (such as Hades, exiting on July 1). Here’s the full list of games making their exit:

Battleship
Braid, Anniversary Edition
Carmen Sandiego
CoComelon: Play with JJ
Death’s Door
Diner Out: Merge Cafe
Dumb Ways to Die
Ghost Detective
Hades (available only on iOS)
Katana Zero
LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed
Ludo King
Monument Valley
Monument Valley 2
Monument Valley 3
Rainbow Six: SMOL
Raji: An Ancient Epic
SpongeBob: Bubble Pop F.U.N.
TED Tumblewords
The Case of the Golden Idol
The Rise of the Golden Idol
Vineyard Valley

Netflix’s entire mobile library consists of 114 games, which means roughly 20 percent of its library is disappearing. While this isn’t the first time games have been delisted from the mobile library, these removals come as some question Netflix Games’ long-term future.

Last October, Netflix shut down its triple-A game development studio in Southern California, leading to the departures of several high-profile talents only a few months after the company expressed optimism about its games division. In January, the company canceled plans to bring previously announced titles to the service, including Thirsty Suitors, Tales of the Shire: A Lord of the Rings Game, and Don’t Starve Together. In February,  Netflix laid off staff at Oxenfree developer Night School Studio, which it acquired in 2021. The streaming giant has even scaled back on interactive programming, removing shows such as Black Mirror: Bandersnatch.
