Your Guide to the Addicting Netflix Video Games Hiding in Your App
If you weren't already spending all your time on Netflix, you might start soon. Recently, the platform launched a new initiative on the Netflix mobile app allowing users to interact with it even more: Netflix Games. Available on both iOS (versions 15.0 or later) and on Android devices, Netflix Games currently features 12 easy-to-play, mobile video games across several gaming categories, like open-world role-playing, sports, card games, arcade games, and more. Designed to be engaging yet straightforward, none of the games features any ads or in-app purchases, and all are completely free to play with your Netflix subscription.
You can find the lineup of Netflix Games within a module on the mobile app's home page. From there, you can choose to download games that play on your favorite Netflix shows, like Stranger Things: 1984, or classic arcade options, like racing game Asphalt Xtreme or dexterity game Teeter (Up). Each game is suitable for a variety of ages and perfect for a mind-break between marathoning your favorite movies. Even better, Netflix Games is set to continue growing, with more video games anticipated to drop as the year goes on.
Ahead, find the Netflix Games titles you'll find yourself playing for hours on end.
