It comes as no surprise that <a href=\"https:\/\/roblox.en.softonic.com\/how-to\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Netflix<\/a> has joined the mix and <strong>started offering its own games<\/strong> <strong>on Android<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, you\u2019ll see a few selections you can download from your favorite app store. Let\u2019s take a closer look at what you can expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are Netflix games?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a new division under the popular label, Netflix Games will be <strong>outsourcing developers<\/strong> so that it can publish games on various devices. You may have seen a rise in some interactive shows on the streaming platform, such as trying to Escape the Undertaker as a fun WWE game. You play as three well-known wrestlers in a real environment, making choices with your TV remote control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, Netflix has taken it a step further and introduced <strong>mobile games<\/strong>. For now, <strong>you can download them from any Android app store<\/strong>, but there are plans to include them in the Netflix app in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/netflix-games-coming-to-android-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"netflix games coming to android\" class=\"wp-image-179012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/netflix-games-coming-to-android-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/netflix-games-coming-to-android-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/netflix-games-coming-to-android-2-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/netflix-games-coming-to-android-2-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/netflix-games-coming-to-android-2-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/netflix-games-coming-to-android-2-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/netflix-games-coming-to-android-2-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/netflix-games-coming-to-android-2-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/netflix-games-coming-to-android-2-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/netflix-games-coming-to-android-2-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/netflix-games-coming-to-android-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Which titles will Netflix Games host?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the moment, there are <strong>five games you can play<\/strong>. When they become available on the mobile app, you\u2019ll see a new row specifically for gaming. You\u2019ll be able to play it directly in the application without needing to download a separate file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the titles you can try:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Stranger Things: 1984&nbsp;<\/li><li>Stranger Things 3: The Game<\/li><li>Shoot hoops<\/li><li>Card explosion<\/li><li>Rocking up<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be able to play Netflix Games, you\u2019ll need to have a monthly paid subscription. So, if you\u2019ve <a href=\"https:\/\/netflix.en.softonic.com\/articles\/how-to-cancel-netflix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">canceled your account<\/a> at some point, it may be worthwhile <a href=\"https:\/\/netflix.en.softonic.com\/articles\/how-to-sign-up-for-netflix-in-4-easy-steps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">signing up for Netflix again<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Limitations on devices<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Netflix Games is only available on Android for now, but we\u2019ll be <strong>seeing an iOS update soon<\/strong>. The company has also announced that you\u2019ll be able to play on different platforms when the functionality arrives, but there\u2019ll be a limit to how many devices you can use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It will be fascinating to see if Netflix Games will be going multiplayer at some point in the future. They already have <a href=\"https:\/\/netflix.en.softonic.com\/articles\/how-to-use-netflix-party\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Netflix Party\/Teleparty<\/a> available, which allows people to <strong>watch shows together<\/strong>. It\u2019s not a far leap to imagine they could use a similar system for gamers to join in co-op or competitive titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Parental control<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may know that Netflix has some strict <a href=\"https:\/\/netflix.en.softonic.com\/articles\/how-to-set-up-parental-controls-for-netflix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">parental control features <\/a>in place for the movies and shows. When you set up profiles for children, they\u2019re limited in what they can watch. You can even establish a pin so that they can\u2019t access your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, it seems like Netflix Games is going the same way. Child profiles won\u2019t see any of the games on their lists or on their mobile devices. If you have a pin set up, they\u2019ll need to <strong>use the same code<\/strong> to access the titles. In this way, you\u2019ll protect them from gore and violence in any of these games (as if that ever stopped them).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/netflix-games-coming-to-android-3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"netflix games coming to android\" class=\"wp-image-179014\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/netflix-games-coming-to-android-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/netflix-games-coming-to-android-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/netflix-games-coming-to-android-3-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/netflix-games-coming-to-android-3-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/netflix-games-coming-to-android-3-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/netflix-games-coming-to-android-3-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/netflix-games-coming-to-android-3-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/netflix-games-coming-to-android-3-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/netflix-games-coming-to-android-3-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/netflix-games-coming-to-android-3-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/netflix-games-coming-to-android-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Welcome to a new gaming platform<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s interesting to see Netflix make such a <strong>massive move to games<\/strong> when their movies and shows are doing so well. If you\u2019re been paying attention, you may have seen many actors and producers move from popular film publishers to Netflix. We\u2019re even seeing old series appear, such as Friends, Seinfeld, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It makes us wonder how long before top titles like Call of Duty and Fortnite move to Netflix as a new option. They can reach a wider market, while the profit may be more lucrative for indie developers.
