Netflix Games is losing two classic 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; Netflix licenses games temporarily, similar to its movies and shows. The 12-month licensing agreement between Netflix and Rockstar Games for these two titles is expiring. A "Leaving Soon" notification will appear in-game before their removal.
What happens after December 13th?
After the removal date, Netflix subscribers will no longer have access to GTA III and Vice City. However, players can still purchase these titles (and the entire trilogy) from the Google Play Store. The Definitive Editions of GTA III and Vice City are available individually for $4.99 each, or as a trilogy for $11.99.
Unlike previous removals, Netflix is giving players advance notice. This is noteworthy, especially considering the GTA trilogy's contribution to Netflix Games' subscriber growth in 2023.
Future Possibilities:
Rumors suggest that Rockstar and Netflix are collaborating on potential future projects. This could include remastered versions of Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories, and even Chinatown Wars. We'll have to wait and see if these rumors pan out.
