Netflix Games Axes Top Titles Carmen Sandiego, Monument Valley

Netflix Games to Remove 22 Popular Titles Including Carmen Sandiego and Monument Valley Series

Significant Content Reduction Coming to Netflix Games

Netflix Games is preparing to remove 22 premium titles from its catalog, representing approximately 20% of its current gaming library. Recent favorites like Carmen Sandiego and the critically acclaimed Monument Valley series are among the casualties, according to What's On Netflix's report.

This content purge mirrors the cyclical nature of subscription gaming services, where licensing agreements dictate availability. Notable titles exiting include Hades, Katana Zero, Dumb Ways to Die, and the Braid Anniversary Edition. Players have until July to enjoy these games before removal.

Silver Linings Amid the Shrinking Library

While the losses are significant, Netflix Games continues expanding its catalog with exciting new additions. Upcoming releases feature the WWE 2K franchise (leveraging Netflix's wrestling content partnership), Rebel Moon: Bloodlines, and Yu Suzuki's Steel Paws.

The departure of the Monument Valley series carries particular weight, as its stylish puzzles became synonymous with Netflix's gaming initiative—even receiving prominent placement in House of Cards.

What Remains and Future Possibilities

Subscribers can still explore numerous quality titles in Netflix's gaming library. History suggests some removed games may re-emerge on mobile platforms, similar to Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon's recent reappearance outside Apple Arcade.
