Netflix has officially announced it to remove over 20 titles, including Hades and the Monument Valley series, from its game subscription service next month.

Most mobile games will be removed from Netflix Games on July 15, but Supergiant Games' roguelike action title will leave the service sooner on July 2. The delisting results in a sizable portion of the Netflix Games library will no longer be available on mobile devices.

All mobile titles on the service are available for free to Netflix subscribers across iOS, iPadOS and Android phones and tablets.

Notably, the Netflix Games library has expanded to over 120 mobile titles that can be viewed on the Netflix app and downloaded from the App Store or the Play Store.

Speaking to Variety, Netflix stated: “Just like with series and film, games will come and go from the service.”

Hades was added to Netflix Games on iOS in March last year, and the acclaimed game was first launched on the Nintendo Switch, PC, and Mac in 2020 and launched on PlayStation and Xbox platforms a year later.

Netflix aims to bring major titles like Hades and Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition to its game subscription service, but the results have been mixed.

According to a report, the rebooted GTA trilogy has crossed 30 million downloads on Netflix Games.
