Breaking: GTA Hits Removed from Netflix Games Lineup

Big changes are coming for Netflix Games subscribers who enjoy Grand Theft Auto on Android. Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City will be removed from the Netflix Games catalog next month.

Why are these GTA games leaving Netflix, and when?

This isn't a random decision. Netflix licenses games similarly to how it licenses movies and TV shows. The licenses for these two GTA titles are expiring. You'll see a "Leaving Soon" notification on the games before they're gone.

GTA III and Vice City were added to Netflix Games exactly one year ago. The initial 12-month agreement between Netflix and Rockstar Games is ending. After December 13th, these games will no longer be accessible to Netflix subscribers.

If you've been playing either game, it's time to finish up. However, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas remains available.

What's next for these titles?

You can purchase Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (Definitive Editions) from the Google Play Store. Each game costs $4.99, or you can buy the entire trilogy for $11.99.

Unlike the removal of Samurai Shodown V and WrestleQuest last year, Netflix is providing advance notice. It's interesting that Rockstar Games isn't renewing the license, especially considering Netflix's subscriber growth in 2023 partly attributed to the GTA trilogy.

Rumors suggest Rockstar and Netflix are collaborating on remastered versions of Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories, and even Chinatown Wars. Let's hope this proves true!
