NETFLIX is pulling the plug on over 20 games – including fan favourites like Hades, Carmen Sandiego and the Monument Valley series.
Subscribers have been given a “Last day to play” notice before the titles vanish from the platform in the coming weeks.

Netflix Games has had a rocky nine months, with executive changes, cancelled projects and soon, the removal of games from both its mobile and TV libraries.
It was recently announced that 22 games – nearly 20 percent of Netflix’s mobile game library – will be axed on July 15.
July 14 is subscribers’ “Last day to play”.
Hades, Monument Valley (all three titles), Carmen Sandiego, Ludo King and Rainbow Six: SMOL are among the most popular Netflix games set to be cancelled.
A full list is available below.
Some of these games are still fairly new – Carmen Sandiego, for example, only joined the platform in January.
Monument Valley 3 launched as a major Netflix exclusive, but is now set to move to other platforms.
Several planned game releases – including Crashlands 2, Tales of the Shire and Don’t Starve Together – have also been scrapped.
The company first started adding video games to its catalogue of streaming TV shows and films in 2021.
Co-CEO Gregory Peters said in April that Netflix Games had made “decent progress” but remained on a “multiyear iterative journey”.
It comes as the streaming giant has confirmed plans to launch an animated TV series based on two of the world’s most popular video games.
Clash of Clans and Clash Royale have dominated iPhone and Android app stores for years – with over 65 million and 18 million monthly players respectively.
They will soon be transformed into a television show.
The series is in “early pre-production”, but no release date has been given.
Supercell, the Finnish company behind the games, is directly involved in the production of the series.
But Clash is not the first animated series to land on Netflix.
The platform already hosts Arcane, based on Riot Games’ smash hit League of Legends.
Other popular Netflix animations include Devil May Cry, Blue Eye Samurai, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous and Sonic Prime.
