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 the Removal?
This isn't a surprise; Netflix licenses games like it does movies and TV 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.
These GTA games debuted on Netflix Games exactly one year ago. After December 13th, they will no longer be accessible to Netflix subscribers. However, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas remains available.
Where to Play Next?
If you haven't finished these games, you can purchase them individually or as a trilogy on the Google Play Store. The Definitive Editions of GTA III and Vice City are each $4.99, or you can get the entire trilogy for $11.99.
Unlike previous removals, Netflix is providing advance notice. This is notable, considering the significant subscriber growth Netflix experienced in 2023, partly attributed to the GTA trilogy. While Rockstar isn't renewing the current license, rumors suggest future collaborations might bring remastered versions of Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories, and even Chinatown Wars to Netflix.
