If you're a Netflix subscriber and enjoy playing Grand Theft Auto on Android through Netflix Games, brace yourself for some significant changes. Both GTA III and GTA Vice City are set to depart from the Netflix Games platform next month.
Why Are These GTA Games Leaving Netflix and When?
This isn't a random decision. Just like movies and series, Netflix licenses games, and the licenses for these two GTA titles are set to expire next month. You'll notice a 'Leaving Soon' label on these games before they exit the platform.
GTA III and Vice City were added to Netflix Games a year ago, under a 12-month agreement with Rockstar Games. Consequently, these games will no longer be accessible to Netflix subscribers after December 13th.
If you've been immersed in the mayhem of Grand Theft Auto III or exploring the neon-lit streets of Vice City via Netflix, it's time to conclude your adventures. However, fans of CJ and the crew from San Andreas can rest easy, as that game isn't going anywhere just yet.
What’s Next for These Titles?
If you haven't completed these games yet, 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 buy the entire trilogy for $11.99.
Unlike Samurai Shodown V and WrestleQuest, which vanished from Netflix's lineup last year without warning, Netflix is giving players a heads-up about GTA's departure. Interestingly, Rockstar Games has chosen not to renew their license with Netflix Games, despite the latter gaining numerous subscribers in 2023 thanks to the GTA trilogy.
However, there's a glimmer of hope on the horizon. Rumors suggest that Rockstar and Netflix are collaborating on remastered versions of Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories, and even Chinatown Wars. Let's keep our fingers crossed that these rumors come to fruition!
