Games are increasingly a core focus for Netflix, it seems – whether that’s its growing roster of game-to-TV adaptations such as Arcane, Castlevania, and BioShock, or the selection of free games that subscribers can access on iOS 16 and Android devices, including plans for an AAA title led by the co-creator of Destiny and Halo. So it’s interesting that Netflix Games still has little fanfare surrounding it – but with plans to double this games library in the coming year, is it finally time for everyone to pay attention?
I found Netflix’s gaming selection (55 titles so far) easy to overlook for the most part – marketed little by the streamer, and contained within a single banner in the Netflix app, easily scrolled past. But having finally got around to downloading some of these free games on iPad, I found my gaming routine immediately transformed.
