Netflix has been slowly getting into gaming, and over the past year, it scooped up some of the best mobile titles and made them free to play. However, a new report states that the company is moving back from six games that were slated to be added to Netflix subscriptions in the coming months.

For those who don’t know, Netflix subscribers can also download and play a ton of mobile games for free by simply signing into the game with your Netflix login. This includes older Grand Theft Auto titles and new hits like Monument Valley. 

Here are the following games that Netflix has removed from its subscription service.

  • Compass Point: West
  • Don’t Starve Together
  • Lab Rat
  • Rotwood
  • Tales of the Shire: A Lord of the Rings Game
  • Thirsty Suitors

While you can still play these games in other ways, it’s a bit disappointing to see Netflix step back from some of the more ambitious gaming titles like the Lord of the Rings and Don’t Starve games.

In a statement to What’s on Netflix, the streaming giant said this was “part of adjusting our portfolio as we learn more about what our members like.”

The same publication notes that in the most recent Netflix earnings call, the company talked about moving more into story-based and party games. There might be others like kids’ games and mainstream titles like GTA as well, but it seems like those will be the main genres moving forward.
