Netflix announced a few months ago that it intends to add game streaming to its service as early as next year, last month, it revealed that it will begin with mobile games first. Today, Netflix Gaming debuted in Poland with two Stranger Things mobile games.
The service is expected to be exclusive to Android for now and includes two games, Stranger Things:1984 and Stranger Things 3. The games will appear under a new tab in the Netflix Mobile app.
From the screenshot attached to the announcement, users will have to install these games to play and not stream them.
If you are disappointed that this is not game streaming but just a way to access mobile games made for popular Netflix shows, the streaming service said “it’s very, very early days and we’ve got a lot of work to do in the months ahead,”.
What Netflix is offering now is a way to play games tied to its shows at no extra price. Stranger Things 3 is now available on the Nintendo Switch but for $9.99 or 735 INR. Netflix subscribers will be able to play the game for free with no ads and no in-app purchases.
It is too early to write Netflix off as it is just a test run. We expect Netflix to have bigger plans in the pipeline and a true game streaming experience awaits all the users!
