If you’ve been enjoying Hades on mobile via Netflix, you better get in those last few runs while you still can. First spotted by Engadget, and confirmed via the Netflix app, Supergiant’s Greek mythology-inspired roguelike and 21 other games are being delisted from the service next month. Several titles, like Braid, Katana Zero, and yes, Hades, were available on mobile exclusively via Netflix, meaning that when those games go, that’s potentially it for them on Android / iOS.
Here’s a full list of the games leaving Netflix next month. Most games depart the service July 14th, but Hades goes a little earlier, on July 1st. (Carmen Sandiego, however, doesn’t have a confirmed date for delisting, only that it’s “leaving soon.”)

The Verge has reached out to the developers of the games that had their mobile versions available exclusively via Netflix to ask if they had plans to distribute them as premium titles. In an email, Nigel Lowrie, a spokesperson for Devolver Digital, wrote, “We are looking at bringing games that leave services like Poinpy, Katana Zero, and Death’s Door to mobile stores as premium titles.”
He also said that the developer for each of these games has its own timeline for when that will happen, but Devolver is working to get them up on mobile storefronts “as soon as possible.” Devolver Digital has some experience with this, as Exit the Gungeon, which had a mobile version available exclusively via Apple Arcade, will become a paid game on iOS and Android after it was delisted from Apple’s gaming subscription service last year.
In the Discord server for Color Gray Games, the developer of the Golden Idol series, Andrejs Klavins, the games’ lead designer and programmer, wrote, “This is all recent news for us and all the practical implications have yet to be worked out.” The statement suggests that some developers were only recently told their games would be leaving the platform and not something that was necessarily pre-planned.
Netflix plans on streamlining its offerings to focus more on games that are tied to Netflix-owned shows, multiplayer party games, games for kids, and “mainstream” titles that have their own large fan bases. And when you look at the numbers, that strategy makes sense.
According to data from Appfigures, a mobile analytics company, the most popular game on Netflix is — coming at no surprise — Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, with an estimated 37 million downloads. The next most popular, though it has less than half the downloads of San Andreas, is Squid Game: Unleashed, a tie-in game for the Netflix-produced Korean social thriller Squid Game. Those two games aren’t going anywhere for now. But if you’re a fan of any of the games above, they will be leaving soon, so try them while you can.
A decision on whether or not to expand the NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournaments will be made in the upcoming weeks, sources told ESPN.
If the decision is made to expand, the expansion would begin in the 2025-26 season, per sources, and the tournament would expand to no more than 76 teams. Sources have indicated to ESPN for months that 76 is the more likely expansion option than 72, as the current format for the men’s and women’s tournament is 68 teams.
The NCAA remains in talks with its media partners about the potential expansion, which have been ongoing for months.
An expansion of the tournament would be a historic and potentially controversial step for the NCAA. An eight-team addition would be the biggest jump in how the men’s NCAA basketball tournament has been compromised since 1985.
The men’s tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985. An additional team was added in 2001, and the expansion to the current 68-team format came back in 2011.
The expectation is that both the men’s and women’s tournaments would grow by the same amount of teams.
NCAA president Charlie Baker has been open in talking publicly about tournament expansion, telling reporters at a Big 12 meeting in May that the NCAA is having “good conversation” with its media partners.
Baker said at the time: “Our goal here is to try to sort of get to either yes or no sometime in the next few months because there’s a lot of logistical work that would be associated with doing this. If we were to go down this road, you just think about the opening weekends, who has to travel the longest, it gets complicated.”
One of the logistics would be the expected addition of at least one additional site, such as Dayton in the men’s NCAA tournament. ESPN reported in February that a location would be expected to be outside the Eastern Time zone.
Not only has Travis played in four Super Bowls, winning three of them (NBD!), but he’s also hosted Saturday Night Live, so you know he can handle intense spotlight with ease.
That may seem trivial, but Taylor has penned several songs regarding her fear that her level of fame could prove to be too much for her romantic partner to handle. (See: “Peace” and “The Archer.”)
“It all depends who you’re with,” Taylor said in, “If they have a serious issue with it, I guess you’ll hide or whatever, but I don’t really like that, because it makes me feel like I’m running from the law or something. I don’t want to feel like a fugitive, like, ‘Oh my god, we’re having a relationship, better hide!’
“I feel like if you can be in a relationship and have it seem normal, that would be good.”
And in his WSJ interview, Travis proved he’s more than ready for the pressure that comes with dating someone as powerful as Taylor.
“Obviously I’ve never dated anyone with that kind of aura about them…I’ve never dealt with it,” he said. “But at the same time, I’m not running away from any of it.”
“The scrutiny she gets, how much she has a magnifying glass on her, every single day, paparazzi outside her house, outside every restaurant she goes to, after every flight she gets off, and she’s just living, enjoying life,” he added. “When she acts like that I better not be the one acting all strange.”
Over the past year, Dilara’s next-door neighbour has threatened her father with a knife and damaged their property.
Dilara says she also smashed her sister’s car windscreen with a hammer.
“I’m just scared,” says the 17-year-old beauty therapy student, who lives with her family in south London, “it doesn’t feel like a home to me anymore”.
She says she struggled when doing her GCSEs last year as noise from the neighbour kept her awake – and the issue is still affecting her college studies.
“I’m really tired,” she says, adding that sometimes she can’t make it to school because she’s so exhausted.
Sixty-six people have contacted Your Voice, Your BBC News telling us how they have dealt with relentless noise, vandalism, death threats and even physical assaults by neighbours. It comes after we reported on a couple plagued by anti-social behaviour earlier this year.
Meanwhile, the housing ombudsman told us complaints about such issues had doubled over the last five years and authorities needed to work more collaboratively to protect people.
Knife-threat neighbour still living next door
Dilara’s father Ecevit, 50, says when he told their neighbour to turn the music down at 04:00 one morning in January, she came out with a knife.
The incident left him “shaking”. The neighbour was arrested but released on bail and was back home the next day.
The neighbour pleaded guilty to threatening “a person with a blade/sharply pointed article in a public place” and will be sentenced in July. But the anti-social behaviour has continued.
Last month, she allegedly smashed the car windscreen of one of Ecevit’s other daughters. The neighbour has now been charged.

Melissa, 25, who needs the car to get to work, says she was in “shock” when she discovered what had happened.
The family believe their housing association, Wandle, has failed to act over the numerous cases of anti-social behaviour, despite much of it being recorded on cameras.
“What is it going to take for them to actually take action and do something to safeguard us and to protect us? Do they expect her to kill us? How is it not enough?” Melissa asks.
Dilara says the windscreen incident has “really affected” her and that, along with other members of her family, she now suffers with anxiety.
Cihan, 29, the eldest daughter in the family says: “There’s no real action. There’s no real urgency, it’s just brushed under the carpet.”
Ecevit says he was left shaking after being threatened
Anne Waterhouse, chief executive of Wandle, said the housing association was “deeply sorry about the distress caused to the resident enduring this unacceptable level of anti-social behaviour”.
“Our community safety team has been working with the impacted family, the police, the local authority and several external agencies to resolve the serious anti-social behaviour issues being experienced.”
Ms Waterhouse added that Wandle was currently assessing whether the family’s property would “benefit from enhanced security during this difficult time”.
But the family say their neighbour has also been failed by the system.
“It’s also a failure for someone who is clearly very vulnerable and is struggling with their mental health. And you know she deserves all the help that she needs, as well as considering my family’s safety,” Cihan says.
A Met Police spokesperson said the local Safer Neighbourhoods Team was aware of a “pattern of behaviour” and was working to support the family, as well as liaising with housing associations and mental health services.

Exclusive data from the housing ombudsman shows the number of complaints about how social landlords have dealt with anti-social behaviour in England have increased by 119% over four years – from 552 in 2020, to 1,207 in 2024.
The watchdog found many social landlords were failing to protect tenants from anti-social behaviour.
Richard Blakeway, the housing ombudsman for England, says in about “two out of three cases” he looks at involving anti-social behaviour “something has gone wrong”.
“In some of the most serious cases, really losing sight of the issues, losing sight of the victim, and the impact of that is deeply shocking,” he says.
‘I don’t sleep’
Others contacted us with similar stories – including Cheryl, in Shoreham-by-Sea, who says four years of complaints about her neighbour have resulted in little action from the authorities.
She says loud music, shouting, abuse and other forms of disquiet have made her life a misery.
“I don’t sleep. It’s like sharing a house with these people, and it affects every part of everything. I can’t go out,” she adds. “My routine revolves around them, so I sneak in and out when it’s quiet, because it’s been dangerous if I don’t.”
Cheryl says she installed cameras around her house because she feels unsafe.
Another neighbour of Cheryl says anti-social behaviour is impacting her life too.
They both say they have been let down by the woman’s landlord, Adur & Worthing Councils. Cheryl says she has been told not to contact them anymore, with the council calling her claims “vexatious”.
The council tells us recent complaints from Cheryl are “unfounded” and “hundreds of hours of officer time have been put into understanding the situation and providing support where it is required”. This has led to an “improved situation”, it says.
In a statement, the council cited “two independent ASB [anti-social behaviour] Case Reviews led by two other councils, both of which have supported the actions we have taken in this case.”
The BBC has seen video footage showing multiple instances of shouting, swearing and drinking outside Cheryl’s flat, which is above the woman’s.
We put all of Cheryl’s allegations to her neighbour, who did not want to be interviewed but disputed Cheryl’s claims and said she felt harassed because she was being filmed. She also told us she was vulnerable.
Cheryl says anti-social behaviour has made her life a misery
Sussex Police said it had received “multiple reports of anti-social behaviour between neighbours” since 2021. It said a 61-year-old woman had been issued with a Community Protection Notice, and in August 2024 was ordered to complete a community resolution for a public order offence.
In a statement, the force told us it “understands the impacts of anti-social behaviour on victims and all reports are taken seriously”. It said it had “engaged with all parties involved, including the local authority, to identify a satisfactory resolution”.
Cheryl says the impact of living in this situation has been devastating and she has spent time in hospital after a suicide attempt.
“It’s heartbreaking. It doesn’t feel safe, life is hell. It’s horrible. It’s not a way to live.”

Police say they have “received multiple reports of anti-social behaviour between neighbours beginning in 2021”
Many people who contacted us said they felt ignored by the authorities and isolated as no official body has taken ownership of the issue.
Kate Henderson, chief executive of the National Housing Federation, which represents housing associations, said persistent anti-social behaviour caused “deep distress” but stressed housing associations treated it seriously.
“Many have dedicated, specialist teams whose role it is to manage such cases, to liaise with victims and alleged perpetrators, and to mediate swift resolutions.”
Mr Blakeway, the housing ombudsman, said there were laws in place to protect people but there could be a “breakdown” in “cooperation between different agencies”.
In many of the cases we have heard about, we were told that people on both sides aren’t getting the support they need.
“Social landlords need more support from mental health services, who will be under their own pressures,” Mr Blakeway said. “But then social landlords themselves also need to recognise that they need to develop skills to handle mental health issues effectively themselves.”

A federal judge on Tuesday issued a ruling blocking the Trump administration from withholding funds for electric vehicle charger infrastructure from 14 states.
U.S. District Judge Tana Lin said the government overstepped their Constitutional authority by refusing to disperse dollars attached to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passed by former President Biden.
The initiative was created to help rid EV drivers of range anxiety, which is defined as the unease experienced by electric vehicle (“EV”) drivers when they are unsure where the next charging station might be and whether their car’s battery has sufficient charge to get them there.
“Congress appropriated $5 billion to fund a National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (“NEVI”) Formula Program, the purpose of which was—and still is— ‘to strategically deploy electric vehicle charging infrastructure and to establish an interconnected network to facilitate data collection, access, and reliability,’” Lim’s order.
However, the U.S. Department of Transportation suspended the program in February and rescinded approval of state plans pending a review, according to Reuters.
Under Lim’s order, EV infrastructure plans will be restored in Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Hawai‘i, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington and Wisconsin.
The ruling does not apply to Minnesota, the District of Columbia, and Vermont, which Lim said failed to prove immediate harm following the DOT decision.
The Trump administration now has seven days to appeal the order before it goes into effect.
The White House did not immediately respond to The Hill’s request for comment on the matter.
Morgan Stanley upgraded Wipro Ltd. (NYSE: WIT) from Underweight to Equalweight on June 19, and raised the price target from $2.49 to $3.05. The move follows a period of relative underperformance for Wipro shares since the April market rally, which, according to the firm, has reset the risk-reward balance to a more neutral stance.
The upgrade shows growing confidence in Wipro’s near-term positioning, particularly as momentum improves in securing large deals. Morgan Stanley sees this trend as a leading indicator of revenue acceleration over the coming quarters, marking a potential inflection point for the Indian IT services firm.

Despite a sluggish top line, Wipro has managed to hold operating margins within a narrow band, which the firm views as evidence of disciplined cost control and resilient operational management amid a tough environment.
Morgan Stanley also highlighted “potential improving capital allocation” as a reason for the more constructive view, pointing to the possibility of more shareholder-aligned financial strategies ahead. This includes better deployment of free cash flow and a tighter focus on returns, both of which could improve sentiment around the stock as execution improves.
While we acknowledge the potential of WIT as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

”Paramount Plus with Showtime” has always been one of the more awkward bits of branding to come out of the streaming era, but soon subscribers will know the tier by another name.
This week Paramount informed Paramount Plus subscribers that Paramount Plus with Showtime — the platform’s most expensive tier that features Showtime programming and minimal ads — will now be referred to as “Paramount Plus Premium.” The renamed tier will still cost $12.99 per month or $119.99 per year. Paramount Plus Premium will also still offer Showtime’s series and catalog of films, but it won’t feature the TV network’s name.
“Since we recently introduced a sampling of Showtime programming to the Essential plan, the Premium plan name reflects the broad and diverse offerings across both plan tiers,” Paramount said in a support post about the new tier name. “Showtime programming remains an important part of Paramount+, and is still prominently represented on the service!”
As strong as the Showtime brand is, “Paramount Plus Premium” is definitely a better name. That said, coming so soon after Warner Bros. Discovery’s recent decision to pivot back to HBO Max, Paramount’s latest move feels very much like a response to the competition. None of us ever called it “Max, the one to watch,” and WBD was right to stop trying to make that happen. But it’s a little wild to see Paramount downplaying its connection to one of the networks that really helped bring cable TV into its own.
FIFA said on Tuesday it has opened disciplinary proceedings against Pachuca player Gustavo Cabral following an incident involving Real Madrid‘s Antonio Rüdiger during their Club World Cup match on Sunday, which prompted the activation of the anti-discrimination protocol.
“Following an assessment of the match reports, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee has opened proceedings against CF Pachuca player Gustavo Cabral in relation to the incident involving him and Real Madrid’s Antonio Rüdiger during the FIFA Club World Cup game played in Charlotte on June 22,” FIFA told Reuters.
Match referee Ramon Abatti activated the anti-discrimination protocol by crossing his forearms in front of his chest five minutes into stoppage time after a brief scuffle erupted following an apparent foul on Germany international Rüdiger.
Asked during a post-match news conference if Rüdiger had been a victim of racism, Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso said: “That’s what Rüdiger said, and we believe him.”
FIFA did not specify the nature of the disciplinary action.
Cabral has denied that he racially abused the Madrid defender.
“There was nothing racist. I called him ‘chickens—‘ as we say in Argentina, that’s it,” Cabral told reporters in Spanish after the game.
For Kim—who also shares kids Saint West, 9, Chicago West, 7, and Psalm West, 6, with ex Kanye West—her hair represents her personality. She’s previously noted that her hairstyle directly correlates with how she’s feeling.
“I’m sassier. I’m more confident as a blonde,” she told Allure in 2022. “As soon as I go back to brunette, I’m a boss.”
And the appearance of her hair is something she’s committed to protecting. In a 2018 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, per People, she made that clear, telling her mom Kris Jenner, “I put it in my will that I have to always have my hair done.”
Former England captain and BBC Sport pundit Michael Vaughan believes England “could be in for a special ride” following their incredible 371-run chase and five-wicket victory over India in the first Test at Headingley.
