Netflix is attempting to enter into the game subscription business by providing five free Android games to users. Two of the games are based on Netflix’s hit series Stanger Things, while the other three are described as basic card or skill games. More is on the way, according to the Silicon Valley-based business, which also intends to make the games available to Apple consumers ‘in the coming months’ by pushing them out to iOS devices. Unlike many other mobile games, the games do not contain advertisements or in-app purchases. Expansion: Netflix is attempting to get into the gaming subscription business by providing five free mobile games to Netflix subscribers.
They are not available on Netflix profiles for children. ‘We’re excited to take our first step in launching Netflix games on mobile to the world,’ the company said. ‘We want to begin to build a library of games that offers something for everyone.’ It added: ‘While this is just the beginning of a long journey, we’re excited to provide a gaming experience that is differentiated from what is available today — exclusive mobile games with no ads, no in-app payments, included with your Netflix membership.’
Netflix is trying to break into the game subscription market by offering subscribers five free mobile games to play on Android phones. All you need to access them is a Netflix subscription — there’s no ads, no additional fees and no in-app purchases. You will need an Android device for now but Netflix hopes to roll out the games to Apple customers in the coming months. The games can be seen through the streaming giant’s Android app, which will then direct them to a download link in the Google Play Store. While some mobile games may require an internet connection, others will be available to play offline, Netflix said.
The games are now available for download on Android smartphones and tablets worldwide, including the UK and US, but had already been released in Italy, Poland, and Spain. Netflix subscribers can access the games through the streaming giant’s Android app, which will then direct them to a download link in the Google Play Store. They will then appear within the Netflix app, as well as on a user’s device home screen.
‘Whether you’re craving a casual game you can start from scratch, or an immersive experience that lets you dig deeper into your favourite stories, we want to begin to build a library of games that offers something for everyone,’ said Verdu, Netflix’s vice president for game development.‘Just like our series, films and specials, we want to design games for any level of play and every kind of player, whether you’re a beginner or a lifelong gamer.
The move follows tests in a few countries, as the company looks to bolster its offering in face of intensified competition in the streaming space. Netflix aims to eventually release the games to iOS devices despite Apple having previously resisted attempts by other companies to put ‘stores inside stores’, especially around gaming. The company said the initial games, which have relatively simple graphics, were in the very early stages, but it ultimately plans to create ones ‘for every kind of player’. It recruited video game veteran Mike Verdu, who previously worked at games giant EA and later at Facebook on augmented and virtual reality, to head up its gaming team.
