Netflix Games is losing two Grand Theft Auto titles next month: GTA III and GTA Vice City. This isn't a surprise; Netflix licenses games temporarily, and these titles' licenses expire on December 13th. A "Leaving Soon" notification will appear in-game before their removal.
Why are they leaving?
The initial 12-month licensing agreement between Netflix and Rockstar Games has concluded. After December 13th, Netflix subscribers will no longer have access to GTA III and Vice City. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas remains available on the platform.
What are the options?
Fans who haven't finished these games can purchase them individually ($4.99 each) or as part of a trilogy bundle ($11.99) on the Google Play Store. These are the Definitive Editions.
Unlike previous removals (like Samurai Shodown V and WrestleQuest), Netflix is providing advance notice. This is somewhat ironic, considering the GTA trilogy significantly boosted Netflix Games subscriptions in 2023.
Future possibilities:
Rumors suggest Rockstar and Netflix are collaborating on potential future releases, possibly remastered versions of Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories, and even Chinatown Wars. This remains unconfirmed, but it's a hopeful prospect for fans.
