Bad News for Netflix Subscribers: The Platform’s #1 Most Downloaded Game Is Leaving This Month
Netflix is about to lose its most downloaded game, with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas – The Definitive Edition scheduled to leave the platform on December 11.
Netflix is preparing for one of the biggest shake-ups in its gaming catalog. Several popular titles are set to disappear in early December, including the service’s most successful game to date. This reshuffle raises questions about licensing, strategy, and the future of Netflix’s gaming ambitions.
GTA San Andreas Leaves Netflix After Record-Breaking Success
GTA: San Andreas – The Definitive Edition will exit Netflix Games on December 11, despite achieving unprecedented results for the platform. With 57.4 million downloads, it represents nearly 15% of all Netflix Games activity.
The departure comes a year after GTA 3 and Vice City were removed, suggesting San Andreas benefited from an extended licensing deal. Its exceptional performance may have influenced negotiations, but even this success couldn’t keep it on the platform indefinitely.
Two Critically Acclaimed Games Also Leaving on December 11
Alongside GTA, Kentucky Route Zero and Twelve Minutes will also be removed from the catalog. Both titles earned widespread praise for narrative innovation and strong artistic direction.
The two games have been available on Netflix since late 2022, forming part of the platform’s push toward storytelling-focused experiences. Their removal marks the end of a curated selection that helped differentiate Netflix Games from traditional mobile platforms.
Ten More Titles Set to Leave Ahead of December 11
Before the major wave of removals, Netflix will lose ten additional games. The departure sequence begins on November 30 with Reigns: Three Kingdoms, followed by Civilization 6 on December 4. Scriptic leaves a day later, with several more titles exiting on December 8.
Games like Dust & Neon, Townsmen: A Kingdom Rebuilt, and Skies of Chaos will disappear in the same window. This broad cleanup suggests a significant realignment in Netflix’s licensing priorities or an upcoming refresh of the catalog. With the confirmed debut of Red Dead Redemption complete with the Undead Nightmare DLC on December 2.

In Conclusion: Netflix and the hope for more Mobile Ports
These catalog fluctuations highlight Netflix’s evolving approach to gaming, balancing licensing challenges with the ambition to secure premium experiences.
