I think part of the problem is that gaming is outside the core product, and that means for most of us Netflix Games is rather like Belgium: we know it exists, but there aren’t any compelling reasons to go there. And that’s a shame, because hey! Free games!
If you’re a subscriber but haven’t checked out the selection, here’s what you’re missing.

What games can you play on Netflix Games?
Let’s be clear. Netflix Games isn’t aGame Passrival. It’s more likeApple ArcadeorGoogle Play Pass, a curated collection of mobile games. In this case there are 24 titles, rising to 50 later this year, for bothiOSandAndroiddevices. There aren’t any ads or in-app purchases to spoil the fun. To see the selection, log in on your iOS or Android device, orclick hereto view on a desktop device.
It’s important to note that interactive shows such as Bandersnatch or Trivia Quest aren’t part of Netflix Games. They’re in the main TV and movie catalogue. And Netflix Games aren’t available to Kids profiles. You can play on multiple devices using the same account subject to the device limit, which depends on the level of Netflix subscription you have. If you hit the limit you’ll need to sign out of other devices in order to play.
So what’s available? It’s a fairly mixed bag that’s quite heavy on real world game-derived titles such as the feline fun of Exploding Kittens, a card game, and Card Blast, which is based on Poker. There are also strategy card games such as Arcanium and the distinctly retro Stranger Things: 1984. To play it’s just a matter of installing the game on your device and logging in with your Netflix details.
