Netflix Games loses 21 indie games, including a real hit

Netflix strokes over 20 popular games from his offer, including the award -winning titles Hades and Monument Valley. The distance is part of a strategic realignment in the gaming offer of the streaming giant.

Netflix cleans up in his game library

Netflix says goodbye to some of his best mobile games. The streaming service will remove over 20 titles from its offer in July, including highly praised indie beads such as the Roguelike Hades and the complete monument Valley trilogy. There is not much time left for players: While Hades already disappears on July 1st, users have time for most other titles until July 14th. The full list of the games concerned:

  • Battleship
  • Braid, Anniversary Edition
  • Carmen Sandiego
  • COCOMELON: Play with JJ
  • Death’s Door
  • Diner Out: Merge Cafe
  • Dumb Ways to the
  • Ghost Detective
  • Hades (only available on iOS)
  • Katana Zero
  • LEGO LEGACY: Heroes Unboxed
  • Ludo King
  • Monument Valley
  • Monument Valley 2
  • Monument Valley 3
  • Rainbow Six: Smol
  • Raji: An ancient epic
  • Spongebob: Bubble Pop Fun
  • Ted Tumblewords
  • The Case of the Golden Idol
  • The Rise of the Golden Idol
  • Vineyard Valley

The removal of these indie games follows a major change of strategy at Netflix. While the streaming provider was initially careful to fill his catalog with as many games as possible, the company now attaches more importance to maximizing the range and developing the right game types for the platform. As The verge reports, Netflix wants to concentrate on four core areas in the future: mainstream games, narrative titles, children’s games and party games.

Netflix is ​​moving away from AAA and indie games as part of this new game strategy and focuses more on the publication of titles from our own studios. It is striking that many of the distant titles are relatively new publications. Carmen Sandiego was only released on Netflix in January of this year. Monument Valley 3 received an extensive Netflix marketing campaign and was initially available exclusively on the platform, although it has now also been announced for other platforms.

The future of Netflix Games

While Netflix wants to continue to invest in games, as mentioned, everything indicates that the efforts will concentrate primarily on the “big screen experience” in the future, starting later this year. According to insiders, mobile games are still published, but at a slower pace than before, with a focus on selected genres, which work well as part of Netflix, such as large IP acquisitions, children’s and family titles and other titles based on Netflix brands.
