Netflix Games to Remove Top Titles Like Carmen Sandiego

• Netflix Games is preparing to remove 22 popular titles from its library
• This includes recent additions like Carmen Sandiego and the acclaimed Monument Valley series
• While there are still promising upcoming games, this represents a significant loss

Unfortunately, this development seemed inevitable. Netflix Games, known for its diverse collection of titles from both indie and major studios, is removing 22 games from its service. According to What's On Netflix, this represents approximately 20% of Netflix's total gaming catalog.

The removals include fan favorites such as Carmen Sandiego and the Monument Valley series. Similar to Apple Arcade's model, this reflects the reality of subscription gaming services where licensed content often disappears when agreements expire.

The complete list of departing games is even more disappointing, featuring acclaimed titles like Hades, Katana Zero, Dumb Ways to Die, and Braid, Anniversary Edition. What's On Netflix reports users still have some time to enjoy these games before they leave the service in July.

Significant Losses

While this news is concerning, it's important to note that Netflix Games continues to offer valuable content. The service is adding major new titles including the WWE 2K franchise (unsurprising given Netflix's partnership with the wrestling promotion), Rebel Moon: Bloodlines, and Yu Suzuki's Steel Paws.

Despite these new additions, the departing games represent substantial losses. The Monument Valley series will be particularly missed, as the visually striking 3D puzzle game made a significant impact on Netflix's gaming platform, even appearing in their popular series House of Cards.

Thankfully, Netflix Games still features numerous top-rated titles. You can explore our comprehensive list of available games, and remain hopeful that many departing titles might return to mobile platforms in the future, similar to today's release of Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon!
