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 are leaving the Netflix Games platform next month.
Why the Departure? License Expiration.
This isn't a surprise move. Netflix licenses games similarly to how it licenses movies and TV shows. The licenses for GTA III and Vice City are expiring. A "Leaving Soon" label will appear on the games before they're removed.
These GTA titles were added to Netflix Games exactly one year ago. The initial 12-month agreement between Netflix and Rockstar Games is concluding. After December 13th, Netflix subscribers will no longer have access to them.
If you're currently playing either game, it's time to finish your adventures. However, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas remains available on the platform.
Future of GTA III and Vice City on Mobile.
For those who haven't completed the games, they're readily available on the Google Play Store. The Definitive Editions of Grand Theft Auto III and Vice City are each $4.99, or you can purchase the entire trilogy for $11.99.
Unlike the abrupt removal of Samurai Shodown V and WrestleQuest last year, Netflix is providing advance notice of the GTA games' departure. This is interesting, considering the significant subscriber growth Netflix experienced in 2023, partially attributed to the GTA trilogy.
Rumors suggest Rockstar and Netflix are collaborating on potential future projects, possibly remastered versions of Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories, and even Chinatown Wars. Let's hope this proves accurate!
