Netflix now has over 30 mobile games available on its platform. Below, you’ll find a full list of every single game it has released on iOS and Android as of October 2022.
Gaming has already played a minor part in Netflix’s history, with a small collection of games and VR experiences released over the years. News of Netflix getting into gaming more came throughout 2021, leading to the launch of Netflix Games within the Netflix app in November 2021.
For the most part, Netflix’s games have been acquired from other gaming studios but have also made some acquisitions in the space:
- In September 2021, they acquired Night School Studio.
- In March 2022, they acquired Next Games
- In March 2022, they acquired Boss Fight Entertainment
The concept of Netflix gaming thus far is akin to Apple Arcade, whereby you get unlimited access to a collection of games as part of a membership fee (in this case, your Netflix membership). All games are free to play, have no advertisements, and have no microtransactions.
With over 30 mobile games to dive into, you may only want to try out some of the best titles. In this case, we’ve picked some of our top picks from Netflix’s game library.
As of January 2022, mobile games on Netflix saw 8.1 million downloads around the globe across both Android and iOS, according to Apptopia. Updated stats in August 2022 suggest that the number is now 23.3 million downloads, representing just under 1% of Netflix’s overall subscribers trying out the initiative.
