After early tests in select markets, Netflix announced today its debut lineup of exclusive mobile games will begin rolling out to all members globally on Android devices, starting this week. In July, the streaming service first confirmed its plans to enter the mobile gaming market, calling games “another new content category” for the company to offer its subscribers, alongside movies and TV. Since then, Netflix has made a growing number of free games with no ads or in-app payments available to members — including a mix of both casual games and those centered around its popular original TV series, “Stranger Things.”
Netflix had been expanding its investments in gaming for some time. At the E3 gaming conference back in 2019, Netflix detailed a series of gaming integrations across popular game platforms like Roblox and Fortnite and plans to bring new “Stranger Things” games to the market. On mobile, it then began working with the Texas-based game studio BonusXP on the game, “Stranger Things: The Game,” which has since been rebranded to “Stranger Things: 1984” to differentiate it from the follow-up title, “Stranger Things 3.”
