Overview

  • Netflix will pull 22 mobile titles on July 1 and July 14, including Hades, the Monument Valley trilogy, Death’s Door, Braid and Katana Zero.
  • The removals follow last year’s shutdown of the in-house AAA Team Blue studio and underscore Netflix’s decision to pivot toward branded, party and children’s games.
  • Several delisted titles were mobile exclusives on Netflix and may vanish from app stores unless publishers reintroduce them as paid offerings.
  • Devolver Digital and other developers are planning to re-release select removed games as premium apps on iOS and Android "as soon as possible."
  • Netflix plans to expand its library with upcoming releases such as WWE 2K25: Netflix Edition and its experimental Netflix Puzzled puzzle hub.
