Ne🐓tflix games are coming to Android mobile devices tomorrow, Wednesday, November 3.

The streaming giant's foray into games 🦹will be introduced as a new dedicated tab on the Netflix mobile app's home page, right next to 'Movies' and 'TV'. All grown-up Netflix subscribers - and yes, that includes everyone piggybacking on one account - will be able to download an update to the app and access five games: Stranger Things: 1984, Stranger Things 3: The Game, Shooting Hoops, Card Blast, and&nbs⛎p;Teeter Up.

The rollout will kick off on Android devices only, but Netflix says the iOS update is "on the way." Naturally, as the company's games initiative is still very early in development, the catalog is limited to a few party games and a duo of Stranger Things mo𝓰bile adaptations, but it sounds like we'll eventually see bigger, deeper games come to the app in the future.

"Just like our series, films, and specials, we want to design games for any level of play and every kind of player, whether you&r🅺squo;re a beginner or a lifelong gamer," says Mike Verdu, Netflix's VP of game development. "And we’re just getting started. We’re excited to continue improving our mobile gaming experience and adding to our entertainment offering in the months ahead."

its games won't include ads and won't require additional fees or in-app purchases to play. While soꦐme of the games will💎 be available for offline play, others will require an internet connection.

In September, Netflix bought Oxenfree developer Night School Studio to make exclusive games for the streaming service, and it sounds like that won't be the first of its acquisitions. For more mobile fun, don't forget to check out our ranking of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best offline Android games

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRad♔ar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
