How To Play Netflix Games On Android & Iphone. Netflix recently released a collection of games for Android and iOS users in the hopes of expanding its business into gaming. The new offering follows significant hirings, acquisitions, and a trial run in a few countries.
The games, some of which are based on the streaming company’s intellectual property, are bundled with the company’s existing subscription service. These games are easily accessible through the Netflix app on your smartphone or tablet.
These titles are not only free for all Netflix subscribers, but they also do not contain any in-game ads or in-app purchases. Furthermore, not all of them necessitate an active internet connection in order to be played.
Stranger Things 3: The Game, Stranger Things: 1984, Card Blast, Shooting Hoops, and Teeter Up are currently available on the platform. You can play the game right away if you have an active Netflix subscription. Here’s how to use your Android or iOS smartphone or tablet to play Netflix games.
Instructions for Playing Netflix Games on Android and iOS
- Open Netflix and log in to your account.
- If you’re using a smartphone, navigate to the dedicated game row/tab in the Netflix app. If you’re using a tablet, you may also access the same from the Categories drop-down menu.
3. From the dedicated row/tab, select your preferred game and tap on “Get Game.”
4. Allow Netflix to download the game from the Play Store/App Store.
5. Once the game is installed, choose your Netflix profile (it must not be a kids profile) and enter your PIN (if it exists) when prompted.
As you might expect, these games do not run within the Netflix app, but rather serve as a portal to these titles. Nonetheless, these games are only available on Netflix after they have been removed from other platforms.
In addition, the game will use the default language set on your account. When a specific language is incompatible, the games default to English.
Going forward, the streaming behemoth intends to provide a diverse selection of games for every type of gamer. Netflix wants to “design games for any level of play and every kind of player, whether you’re a beginner or a lifelong gamer,” according to Game Development VP Mike Verdu.
