This week, Netflix finally launched its mobile games offering worldwide. Opening up the ability to access the games it offers to all users where the Netflix app is available for installation. What are Netflix mobile games, you might ask? If you enjoy games on the mobile platform, then surely you have questions. And perhaps loads of them.
\nWell, this handy guide is here to answer those questions and hopefully, answer all of them. We\u2019ll break down everything there is to know about Netflix mobile games and what you can expect out of them. At least for the time being. Netflix\u2019 game offerings will be changing eventually, but for now the streaming service company is beginning its gaming adventure with the mobile platform. Let\u2019s dive into things a little bit more.
\nWhat are Netflix mobile games?
\nNetflix recently started offering games through its service that users can play on their mobile devices. You can play on smartphones or tablets, and there are already a few different options for players to try out.
\nNaturally, some of the games are based on hit Netflix series TV shows. While others are not. Netflix also plans to expand on its library of game offerings, and in due time should have a pretty wide variety of titles to play.
\nDo Netflix mobile games cost anything?
\nNetflix games are completely free to play, for now. As it stands none of the games that Netflix offers will cost money to download. Meaning they\u2019re not premium games. All games are included with your Netflix membership.
\nThat does mean however that you will need a Netflix subscription.
\nDo the games have ads or micro transactions?
\nNo. All games included with the Netflix membership are free of ads and micro transactions. So you can play any of the games completely free as they\u2019re free to download as well. The only thing you\u00a0have\u00a0to pay for is the membership.
\nWhich goes without saying since you need a Netflix membership to use Netflix anyways.
\nDo I need a specific plan?
\nAs of right now, no. Netflix mobile games will be available to anyone who has a membership, regardless of which plan they subscribe to. So even if you have the barebones plan that costs the least amount of money, games will be available to download and play.
\nWhere can I access the games?<\/p>\n

All the games are available in the Netflix mobile app. There are no games accessible from the browser, console, or TV apps at this time. Netflix hasn\u2019t confirmed if it will ever offer games on other platforms. But it hasn\u2019t said it won\u2019t either. So there\u2019s always the possibility that games could come to other platforms where a Netflix app is available, alongside the browser.
\nIf you don\u2019t care for mobile games, then that will be something to keep an eye out for.
\nAre Netflix mobile games available on Android and iOS?
\nRight now the games are available only in the Android version of the Netflix app. For iOS users, the mobile games are coming, but Netflix has only said that they will be coming soon and hasn\u2019t given out any official dates as to when they\u2019ll show up.
\nIt could be sometime before the end of the year or it may not be until sometime in 2022.
\nWhat games are currently available?
\nAt the moment Netflix is offering five games to users. As noted above all of these can be downloaded in the Netflix app. The games which are currently included with the service are listed below:
\nStranger Things: 1984
\nStranger Things 3: The Game
\nShooting Hoops
\nCard Blast
\nTeeter (Up)
\nDominoes Cafe
\nWonderputt Forever
\nKnittens
\nAsphalt Xtreme
\nBowling Ballers
\nArcanium: Rise of Akhan
\nKrispee Street
\nHextech Mayhem: A League Of Legends Story \u2013 Netflix Edition
\nDungeon Dwarves
\nShatter Remastered
\nThis Is A True Story
\nInto The Dead 2: Unleashed
\nRelic Hunters: Rebels
\nDragon Up
\nMoonlighter
\nTownsmen \u2013 A Kingdom Rebuilt
\nExploding Kittens \u2013 The Game
\nPoinpy
\nNetflix will add more games to the list eventually, but right now it hasn\u2019t confirmed what its plans are in terms of timing. There\u2019s also no information at the moment on what games it may choose to add. However, Netflix has said that it\u2019s trying to cater to gamers of all types.
\nSo that probably means games from different genres will start appearing when more games come to the platform. Netflix content spans a wide variety of genres, so we wouldn\u2019t rule anything out.
\nWhere in the app will I find the Netflix mobile games?
\nNetflix has created a special category just for games. When you open the app on a smartphone, you will see that games have their own row among the rest of the content. You can scroll through the games listed and hit the download button to install the game and begin playing.
\nOn tablets, you will see the same games row as on smartphones, but there will be an additional location for accessing them as well. You can tap on the \u2018Categories\u2019 button and then tap the \u2018Available For Download\u2019 button, where you can see all of the games listed on the main home tab.
\nWhen are the games available?
\nNetflix officially started rolling out the mobile games in its app globally yesterday. However, I have personally not seen the games show up in my own Netflix app yet. So the rollout seems to be hitting devices in waves, and likely region by region. Or by a few regions at a time.
\nThis being the case, you may not see the ability to play the mobile games on your device yet. You will however know if they\u2019re there. Since they have their own row and they should be towards the top of the list when you launch the app.
\nWhat countries are the Netflix mobile games available in?
\nNetflix hasn\u2019t posted a definitive list of available countries. But it\u00a0did\u00a0say the rollout was global. So presumably the games will hit the Android version of the app in any country where Netflix and the app are available as well.
\nAs noted above though, timing on when they go live may differ for each region since the rollout isn\u2019t simultaneous.
\nCan the games be played with a controller?<\/p>\n

This will probably depend on each individual game. Netflix doesn\u2019t list this information in its announcement either, so you will have to check each game in the app. You may also have to download the game and try to connect a controller and use it after the fact.
\nThat being said, it might be best to go into playing these assuming that they are touch only. And if they do support controllers, then it will end up being a nice surprise for anyone that wants to use them.
\nCan games only be played on one profile?
\nContrary to what you might think or believe, games can be played on any of the profiles. What\u2019s more is that all profiles can play any of the games simultaneously. So if you have a few profiles on your account, everyone can play games at the same time if they want to. Additionally, Netflix will alert you if you reach your profile limit for playing games at the same time.
\nThe only exception is that games are not available for kids profiles. And it\u2019s recommended that if parents don\u2019t want kids playing the mobile games, that a PIN should be set up on the adult profiles to ensure this is prevented.
\nWill Netflix ever do games for other platforms?
\nRight now Netflix says it\u2019s focusing strictly on mobile. So it has no current plans to share on the potential of console games, PC games and the like.
\nThese are the early days of Netflix in the gaming space. And the company has said that it\u2019s testing the waters with mobile. That suggests that it\u00a0might\u00a0have considered the possibility of games that aren\u2019t for mobile at some point in the future.
\nFor now though Netflix and gaming is limited to mobile devices.
\nDoes Netflix stream the games like it does video content?
\nNo. All games offered are downloadable games. So they\u2019ll install onto your chosen device and you\u2019ll play them there just like any other game. Think of it like something you would access directly from the Play Store (or the App Store on iOS) that needs to be installed.
\nThis doesn\u2019t mean Netflix will never offer any sort of game streaming. But it so far has not said anything to suggest that it has plans to move in this direction. The cloud gaming space is already fairly crowded after all. And Netflix would have a lot of big competition from Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and NVIDIA. Who all already have services offered in the space.
\nAre Netflix mobile games playable offline?
\nSome of the games are playable offline while others may require you to be connected to the internet to play. These details might be listed in the details for each game individually when you go to download. So make sure to check whether or not that information is available.
\nAre the games compatible on all Android devices?
\nNetflix doesn\u2019t have a list of compatible devices. However, most current Android devices should have no problem playing the games. You will probably at the least want a device running on Android 6+. Which is nearly all the devices out there these days.
\nWorth noting though is that since Netflix doesn\u2019t seem to list any required specs anywhere, what Android version you need and what device you need is not guaranteed and will likely vary.
