Overview

  • Netflix will pull 22 titles from its mobile library next month, with Hades departing on July 1 and most others leaving on July 14 or 15.
  • The delisted games represent about 20% of Netflix’s current offering and include top-rated indie hits such as Braid, Monument Valley and Death’s Door.
  • Several of the removed titles were exclusive to Netflix on Android and iOS, potentially ending their availability on mobile storefronts.
  • Devolver Digital and other developers have indicated plans to reintroduce some delisted games as premium releases on traditional app stores.
  • The removals follow Netflix’s strategic pivot toward content tied to its own shows, multiplayer party experiences, children’s titles and established mainstream franchises.
