Netflix Games is removing over 20 games

Netflix Games has had a rocky nine months, with executive changes, cancelled projects and soon, the removal of games from both its mobile and TV libraries.
It was recently announced that 22 games - nearly 20 percent of Netflix's mobile game library - will be axed on July 15.
July 14 is subscribers' 'Last day to play'.
Hades, Monument Valley (all three titles), Carmen Sandiego, Ludo King and Rainbow Six: SMOL are among the most popular Netflix games set to be cancelled.
A full list is available below.
Some of these games are still fairly new - Carmen Sandiego, for example, only joined the platform in January.
Monument Valley 3 launched as a major Netflix exclusive, but is now set to move to other platforms.
Several planned game releases - including Crashlands 2, Tales of the Shire and Don't Starve Together - have also been scrapped.
The company first started adding video games to its catalogue of streaming TV shows and films in 2021.
Co-CEO Gregory Peters said in April that Netflix Games had made "decent progress" but remained on a "multiyear iterative journey".
Netflix reveal huge list of movies and TV shows being axed next month – with some children's favourites in the mix
It comes as the streaming giant has confirmed plans to launch an animated TV series based on two of the world's most popular video games.
Clash of Clans and Clash Royale have dominated iPhone and Android app stores for years - with over 65 million and 18 million monthly players respectively.
They will soon be transformed into a television show.
The series is in "early pre-production", but no release date has been given.
Supercell, the Finnish company behind the games, is directly involved in the production of the series.
But Clash is not the first animated series to land on Netflix.
The platform already hosts Arcane, based on Riot Games' smash hit League of Legends.
Other popular Netflix animations include Devil May Cry, Blue Eye Samurai, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous and Sonic Prime.

Royal fans accuse Meghan Markle of 'copying' Kate with 'festive' new Netflix announcement
Royal fans have accused Meghan Markle of 'copying' the Princess of Wales after it was revealed the second season of the Duchess's 'With Love, Meghan' lifestyle show will include a Christmas special. Fans have compared it to the festive productions created by Kate Middleton, 43. These include her 2019 collaboration with Mary Berry on a seasonal cookery programme, and her annual carol service, titled Royal Carols: Together At Christmas, which is typically broadcast on ITV1 on December 24. Yesterday, it was announced that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have signed a new 'multi-year, first look deal for film and television projects' with Netflix, which has been described as a downgrade on their previous contract with the streamer. The couple's new output is slated to include a second season of the Duchess's lifestyle show released later this month, as well as a Christmas special titled With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration, in December. Fans have criticised the news, accusing the Suits actress, 44, of 'copying' Kate by releasing a Christmas episode. Writing on X (formerly Twitter) one said: 'Anything to compete with Catherine. A December holiday special, really?' A second lamented: 'A Christmas special?! Good grief, is there NOTHING Meghan won't attempt to do better than Catherine, Princess of Wales - and fail MISERABLY at? Just when I thought we would take up a Netflix subscription again.' Other fans feared the two productions could have clashing release dates. A third wrote: 'Meghan's "Christmas Special" may clash with the Princess of Wales 'Together at Christmas' concert?! Oh I am in no doubts that Meghan would push for that date specifically!' 'So Just like Princess Catherine's Holiday special then! The difference is Megan has no Royals or family attending hers!' another commented. 'What is sad certain accounts on here will promote it if it lands on the same day as Catherine's Christmas special and give her free publicity instead of ignoring Meghan.' In 2024, Kate held her fourth festive concert at Westminster Abbey, delighting fans with her appearance after enduring what she described as 'probably the hardest year of my life'. The Princess attended the concert on December 6 alongside her husband, Prince William, 43, and three children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven. Fans will also likely be referencing Kate's 's 2019 Christmas show, a BBC show featuring baking legend Mary Berry titled A Berry Royal Christmas special. Unlike Meghan's latest venture, the production was a charitable project featuring the Princess and Prince William joining forces with the former Great British Bake Off star to volunteer with local communities to prepare festive food over the Christmas period. The programme was warmly received at the time. It included various cooking confessions from Kate, who said she loves to bake and that she grows her own vegetables. Announcing the news of the extended creative partnership yesterday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said the second season of their show would include 'a new special holiday episode'. The festive programme was warmly received at the time. It included various cooking confessions from Kate, who said she loves to bake and that she grows her own vegetables. Their statement read: 'This December, join Meghan in Montecito for a magical holiday celebration,' referencing the California town where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex live with their two children. The new arrangement is a first-look deal, meaning Netflix can say yes or no to new film or TV projects before anyone else. One of the projects the Sussexes are working on Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within - a documentary about orphaned children in Uganda, where the 'shadows of the HIV /Aids crisis linger'. There is also 'active development' on other projects with Netflix which 'span a variety of content genres', including an adaptation of romantic novel Meet Me At The Lake. Netflix has already released the first series of With Love, Meghan as well as Polo, Heart of Invictus, Live to Lead and the couple's bombshell documentary Harry & Meghan as well as being a business partner on Meghan's lifestyle brand, As Ever. Five years ago, Harry and Meghan secured a lucrative contract thought to be worth $100million (£74million) with Netflix after quitting as senior working royals in 2020. The renewed deal was described by the Sussexes - who made the announcement with Netflix - as 'extending their creative partnership' through Archewell Productions. But the new terms are understood to be worth less for Harry and Meghan than their previous contract, according to a person familiar with the deal, and they represent Netflix loosening its ties with the couple. Leading publicist Mark Borkowski told the Daily Mail: 'They have shot the golden goose of 2020 - more of a "we'll call you" than "here's the chequebook". 'It's a first-look deal, which means Netflix gets first dibs but no obligation to bankroll every semi-royal whim. I reckon Netflix is trimming fat industry-wide, so this is less carte blanche, more curated cameo. 'They're still in business together - Meghan's. As ever brand and seasonal specials keep them in the Netflix shop window but make no mistake, this is a slimmed-down sequel to the blockbuster original. So Harry and Meghan's new Netflix chapter [is] less champagne budget, more Prosecco by the glass.' Netflix said Harry & Meghan, which came out in December 2022, was a huge success with a total of 23.4million views, making it the most viewed documentary ever through its first four days and reaching the English Top 10 TV list in 85 countries. But With Love, Meghan failed to break into Netflix's top ten programmes - or even the top 300, as it ranked at number 383 in 2025 so far for the streaming giant with just 5.3million viewers across the globe since it was first broadcast in March. However, the Duchess said today: 'We're proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the As ever brand. 'My husband and I feel inspired by our partners who work closely with us and our Archewell Productions team to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally, and celebrates our shared vision.' Bela Bajaria, Netflix's chief content officer, said: 'Harry and Meghan are influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere. 'The response to their work speaks for itself - Harry & Meghan gave viewers an intimate look into their lives and quickly became one of our most-watched documentary series. More recently, fans have been inspired by With Love, Meghan, with products from the new As ever line consistently selling out in record time. 'We're excited to continue our partnership with Archewell Productions and to entertain our members together.' Brand and culture expert Nick Ede said: '[Netflix] know that with Meghan and Harry there will always be interest and they won't want to lose them to a rival streamer so this is a good way of keeping them as part of the Netflix family but not spending as much as they did previously, when only two of the content that was created were real winners for the streamer.' Mr Ede added: 'I think that Polo and Heart of Invictus were pretty niche shows and didn't rate well. They have probably seen the slate that archewell has created for their future productions and pitches are interesting and may be developed more for the streaming service.' As Ever is Meghan's lifestyle brand which also sells cookie mix, herb tea, flower sprinkles and jams – and launched a new Napa Valley rosé wine last Friday. In March the Duchess launched her new podcast series 'Confessions Of A Female Founder' with Lemonada Media, which included an interview with Beyonce's mother Tina Knowles. Meghan's Archetypes series about female stereotypes in 2022 ran for just one series, and was part of the Sussexes' previous multi-million-pound deal with Spotify, which ended the year after. Last month a Netflix source claimed Harry and Meghan's hopes of a new Netflix deal were 'dead' after Polo and With Love, Meghan both flopped in the ratings. The insider was quoted as saying: 'This deal is dead. She had everything going for her - name, platform, press - and the numbers were dismal. They're just waiting for the credits to roll. They're letting it expire without drama. There's no appetite for anything new.'

The reality TV dating show has been hailed as 'amazing' (Image: Courtesy of Netflix) Netflix fans are delighted as a popular reality dating show has returned for a second series. Love Is Blind UK will be back on screens tomorrow, Wednesday August 13, as a new batch of singles hope to find love. Appearing on the show, which is hosted by Matt and Emma Willis, is Scottish nanny and makeup artist Katisha Atkinson from Dumfries. Katisha, 31, is one of the 30 people who will be entering the pods looking for a soulmate sight unseen. Katisha, 31, is 'looking for a husband, not a boyfriend'. The eldest of seven children, she and her family moved 14 times when she was growing up and she's found the Dumfries dating scene difficult. After being single for six years, Katisha is starting to feel unlucky in love. Now, she's ready to branch out of her small hometown to connect with the 'right type of men' who are seeking long-term commitment and love. Fans on Reddit have been thrilled at the news of the show's return, with season one regarded as being much more popular than its US predecessor. "Series one was amazing! So much better than its US sister," quipped one follower of the show. Scots nanny Katisha in Love is Blind: UK (Image: Courtesy of Netflix) Another echoed: "Totally agree! Being from the UK myself I thought they'd cast it with Love Island influencer wannabes and it would be s**t but they have done such a good job with the casting!" "I love that they're older and are genuine people with real stories," they added. One person simply quipped: "It's so much better than the US ones so far." Someone else wrote: "It's such a breath of fresh air after the last few US seasons!! They're older, more mature and seem more real. Like they're not there just to get a social media following and brand deals." Another agreed, quipping: "I was very pleasantly surprised and binged it in one go. I got a bit bored of the US version and it's so refreshing to see older people. It definitely genuine." "It's so soo good! I'm loving it, loving the chats they have. They're all so vulnerable and seem so authentic, talking about their personal growth. Some of their chats make me get teary," wrote another viewer. Someone else added: "The casting is fantastic, there are zero filler characters. Everyone is interesting, but it's not OTT drama either. It feels like real people having interesting but believable interpersonal drama. This is already the best season across the franchise for me." The first four episodes of Love Is Blind will be available from August 13. Four more will follow on August 20 with the final four on August 27.
