Netflix subscribers who enjoy playing Grand Theft Auto games on Android via Netflix Games will soon see some significant changes. Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City are leaving the Netflix Games platform next month.
Why Are GTA III and Vice City Leaving Netflix Games?
This isn't a sudden decision. Netflix licenses games similarly to how it licenses movies and TV shows. The licenses for these two GTA titles are expiring. You'll see a "Leaving Soon" label on these games before they're removed.
GTA III and Vice City were added to Netflix Games exactly one year ago. Netflix's initial agreement with Rockstar Games was a 12-month contract. Therefore, these games will be unavailable to Netflix subscribers after December 13th. If you're currently playing either game, be sure to finish your adventures before then. Note that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas remains available on the platform.
What Happens After December 13th?
If you haven't finished these games and want to continue playing, you can purchase them from the Google Play Store. The Definitive Editions of Grand Theft Auto III and Vice City are available for $4.99 each, or you can purchase the entire trilogy for $11.99.
Unlike the removal of Samurai Shodown V and WrestleQuest last year, Netflix is giving players advance notice of the GTA games' departure. This is somewhat surprising, considering the significant increase in Netflix subscribers in 2023 attributed to the GTA trilogy.
However, rumors suggest Rockstar and Netflix are collaborating on future projects, potentially including remastered versions of Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories, and even Chinatown Wars. Let's hope these rumors prove true!
