Overview
- Netflix will remove 22 mobile games next month, with Hades exiting on July 1 and most others leaving July 14
- The delistings account for about 20% of Netflix’s game library and include top-rated indie franchises like Monument Valley and Braid
- The move supports Netflix’s revamped strategy to prioritize titles based on its own series alongside party and mainstream games
- Several developers say they received little advance notice, while some, including Devolver Digital, plan to re-release their delisted titles as paid apps
- The shake-up follows setbacks in Netflix’s gaming division such as last year’s closure of its AAA studio Team Blue
