Image for article titled Huh, Netflix Has Mobile Games, and They're Actually Good

If you read the headline and thought to yourself, "Netflix has games," then you're correct. You're not the only one. It is reported that less than 1% of subscribers are playing these games. If you only watch on your TV, you won't see these games in your feed. They are real, they are free to subscribe, and they are generally good.

Five original titles were launched by the streaming service in November. It has added 21 new games since then and plans to add 50 by the end of the year. The games have been downloaded 23 million times and have 1.7 million daily active players.

The games are only available on phones and tablets right now. They won't be found on your game consoles, computers, or smart TVs. That also poses a challenge when it comes to advertising, since a lot of us watch it on devices with great games. I haven't heard of them before a report in Polygon this week, so I didn't even know they existed.

I don't know any of the games that are played by over 1.5 million people on the service. If you are like me, you are wondering what games and how to play them, and how to get started.

All the games Netflix currently offers for free

There are a lot of titles you can get into today. Not all games are available on all devices according to the warning on the website. When choosing a game, be aware that you won't be able to play it on your device.

It turns out the library is solid, even though you might think that the games are shovelware. There are a number of excellent, well-regarded independent titles on this list. There are some native movies in the list, notably Stranger Things: 1984 and the upcoming Queen's Gambit chess title.

As of this writing, Dungeon Dwarves has a rating of 71 out of 100 on the app store. You can see each game's store page before you download, so you can check out reviews and see if the title is worth it. Since they are all free, there is no reason to get a dud or two.

How to play Netflix’s games

You can pick up and play any of these titles if you're interested. To get started, you will need an iPad, an iPad mini, or an iPod touch that runs iPadOS 15 or later.

You can either find the games on your device or on the internet. If you scroll down on the Home page, you can see the games section. When you tap a game, it will open the game's page in the app store.

The App Store and Play Store can be used to search forNetflix games. If you open the developer page on the app store, you will see a complete list of all the games that the company offers.

It's possible that when you open a game for the first time, you'll be asked to log in to your account. It is possible that the game will work with the app so you don't need to log in again. You tell the game which account is playing when you open the regular app.

This offering is not easy to criticize. It comes at no extra cost to all subscribers of any tier and includes some great games. There are a lot of things to keep you busy until the time comes when more people join the streaming service.
