Netflix Pulls 20+ Games—Hades and Monument Valley Gone

Netflix is set to delist over 20 mobile games, significantly impacting its gaming catalog, which will be reduced by nearly 20%. Among the notable titles being removed are fan-favorites such as Hades and Monument Valley, with the removals scheduled for around July 15. The reason for the delisting remains unclear, and it is uncertain whether these games will be offered via other platforms. This comes on the heels of Netflix's recent efforts to expand its gaming division, though it faced setbacks, including the closure of its AAA gaming studio earlier this year. Despite claiming a surge in gaming engagement, the future of Netflix's gaming initiative appears uncertain.

In July 2024, Netflix will be removing games like Hades, Monument Valley, Braid: Anniversary Edition, and others from its catalog.

Hades is an acclaimed rogue-like dungeon crawler that allows players to take on the role of Zagreus, the son of Hades, as he seeks to escape the Underworld. It gained immense popularity for its engaging gameplay and rich narrative, making its departure from Netflix particularly disappointing for fans. Monument Valley, a visually stunning puzzle game, is also highly regarded, known for its unique architecture and design, which has captivated players across multiple platforms.
