Netflix Gaming: Why It’s Addictive (and Heartbreaking)

On July 1,your Netflix subscription will be worth less.

Not worthless, but you’ll be getting less content for your money because nearly two dozen games are leaving Netflix Gaming next month, including hits like Hades, Death’s Door and Monument Valley.

The games getting axed will depart throughout the month, with Hades leaving on July 1 and Death’s Door sticking around until July 14. Some of these games have no other mobile versions, at least not at the time of writing, so you might have just a few days left to play them.

Here’s a look at all the games that are leaving, some good news, and alternatives to Netflix Gaming.

My favorite mobile gaming service just got a lot worse

A staggering 22 games are leaving Netflix Gaming next month, including nearly 20% of the service’s entire game library. The titles getting axed are some of the best Netflix Gaming had to offer, too, like Hades, the Monument Valley series, Death’s Door and Katana ZERO.

Netflix subscribers were previously able to play all of these games for no extra charge on iOS and Android (with Hades being the only exception for Android users). However, in a matter of days, that will no longer be case and most of these games don’t have mobile editions outside of netflix Gaming (yet, anyway).

the full list of games being removed from Netflix Gaming includes nearly two dozen titles, as originally reported by Engadget.

## Best alternatives to Netflix Gaming

While I’m obviously disappointed that Netflix Gaming is losing many of its gems, including some of the best games the service had, it’s not the only option for mobile gaming.

The first option, and possibly the best one, is the growing library of games with mobile ports *outside* of Netflix Gaming, including some titles that have separate “Netflix Editions.” *dead Cells* is a perfect example. There’s a Netflix version of it, but you can also just buy the game by itself on [the App Store](https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=92X1584496&xcust=laptopmag_us_7758679277533379557&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fapps.apple.com%2Fus%2Fapp%2Fdead-cells%2Fid1389752090&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.laptopmag.com%2Fgaming%2Fnetflix-gaming-losing-best-g).
