Netflix Games to Ax Carmen Sandiego, Monument Valley

• Netflix Games is preparing to remove a significant 22 popular titles
• This purge includes recent additions like Carmen Sandiego and the acclaimed Monument Valley series
• While promising new games are coming, these removals represent a substantial loss

Unfortunately, this development seemed inevitable. Netflix Games, known for its impressive catalog from both indie and major studios, will soon remove 22 games from its platform. According to What's On Netflix, this constitutes roughly 20% of Netflix's total gaming library.

The list includes beloved titles such as Carmen Sandiego and the Monument Valley series. Much like Apple Arcade, this highlights a recurring theme in subscription gaming: great games often disappear once their licensing agreements expire.

The complete list reveals further heavyweight departures, including Hades, Katana Zero, Dumb Ways to Die, and Braid, Anniversary Edition. What's On Netflix reports players still have some time to enjoy these games before they leave the service in July.

Significant Setbacks

Despite the disappointing news, it's worth noting that Netflix Games still maintains a valuable lineup. The service continues to welcome major new additions, such as the WWE 2K franchise—unsurprising given the wrestling promotion's partnership with Netflix—alongside Rebel Moon: Bloodlines and Yu Suzuki's Steel Paws.

Nevertheless, these upcoming removals represent a serious blow to the library. The departure of the Monument Valley series may be particularly painful for many; the stylish 3D puzzle game left a notable mark, even earning a cameo in Netflix's hit series House of Cards.

For those looking for alternatives, numerous other top-tier games remain available on Netflix Games. You can explore our comprehensive list of current titles. There's also a chance, as seen previously with Apple Arcade, that some removed games could make a comeback to mobile platforms—similar to today's release of Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon.
