What are Netflix Games: list, top games, for iOS, Android
Netflix has a new strategy to keep up with the concurrence (such as Disney+ and HBO Max) and to give a breath of fresh air to the cloud-based entertainment. And the way to do this is through Netflix Games, a new service for mobile devices included in the platform's subscription. Here you will find everything you need to know about games on Netflix.
How do Netflix games work?
Netflix users can enjoy it at no additional cost, unlike other similar services, such as Apple's Arcade platform. To play over 40 games available on the platform, you only need a regular Netflix subscription, an Android or iOS mobile device and an internet connection to download and install the games. You cannot access it from the desktop version. Just like with movies, access to games applies to all devices linked to one account.
How to find games and play?
- Go to the Netflix application on your mobile gadget (the application must be updated to the latest version).
- Find the "Mobile Games" section on the home screen and click on the "Games" (or "Mobile Games") tab.

What does the catalog feature?
It seems that in creating a catalog of games, Netflix sought to take target users who are not actually gamers - this is probably due to the presence of a large number of indie games here that resemble films or are directly related to the content of the platform, such as Stranger Things. Many of the Netflix games are exclusive to the platform. Here you will find our TOP 12 best Netflix games:
