Netflix Games Loses Two Popular GTA Titles Soon

Netflix Games is losing two Grand Theft Auto titles next month. Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City will be removed from the Netflix Games catalog on December 13th.

Why are these games leaving?

This isn't a surprise move. Netflix licenses games similarly to films and shows, and the licenses for these two GTA titles are expiring. A "Leaving Soon" notification will appear in-game before their removal. The initial 12-month agreement between Netflix and Rockstar Games is concluding.

What happens after December 13th?

After December 13th, Netflix subscribers will no longer have access to GTA III and Vice City. However, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas remains available. Players wishing to continue their experience can purchase the Definitive Editions of GTA III and Vice City individually ($4.99 each) or as a trilogy ($11.99) on the Google Play Store.

Future Possibilities?

Unlike previous removals, Netflix is providing advance notice. Interestingly, this occurs despite Netflix's subscriber growth in 2023 being partly attributed to the GTA trilogy. Rumors suggest Rockstar and Netflix are collaborating on potential future releases, possibly remastered versions of Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories, and Chinatown Wars.
