What can we learn from the highest-downloaded games thus far? Several things.

There are three trends among the highest downloaded titles that we can see:

  • Netflix tie-ins or existing IP to existing shows and movies do exceedingly well, such as both Stranger Things games and, perhaps most pertinently, the Too Hot To Handle game, doing well enough to justify a game sequel released in July 2023. Away from Netflix, the Spongebob game has also done well since its addition.
  • Simple games and older games top the charts. Some of the top 10 are simple arcade-style games that are easy to jump in and out of.
  • Apps with already-established audiences/player bases have performed well thus far too. This is where games have been converted to Netflix games well after being initially released independently, either with microtransactions or advertisements in the game (or both).
