Netflix Has Added Several Mobile Games To It’s Library

Netflix has added several mobile games to its library for the first time. We learned about plans to break into the world of mobile games in May, and in July the company officially announced them. As Netflix said, games for them are “another category of content.” According to previous information, the launch was supposed to take place early next year, and many were surprised that the games are already available now. So far, Android users can try the games. There are only two games available: Stranger Things: 1984 and Stranger Things 3. They can be found in the Netflix app, but they are downloaded from Google Play. You can also play online on Game Karma and enjoy the gameplay.

What to expect from Netflix?

In early November, Netflix finally launched its library of games worldwide, adding hits like Stranger Things 3: The Game and Card Blast. Although the choice is not great, the company has promised that other games will appear. With a recent update, two more games have been added to the library, including the once-popular racing game Asphalt Xtreme.

Asphalt Xtreme is one of Gameloft’s popular racing games for smartphones, or at least it was before the project was canceled in September of this year. The game is based on off-road racing with a wide variety of cars. The game appeared in 2017, and four years later Gameloft completely closed the project. This may have attracted the attention of Netflix as the app became available to subscribers.

The trailer for the relaunched Asphalt Xtreme makes it clear that: the game has been redesigned from the ground up, in-app purchases have been removed, and the game has become exclusive to Netflix users. In a way, it’s working with competitors like Apple to revive mobile gaming without costly transactions and ads.

Even if you’re not someone who plays casual mobile games a lot, they have their place. Sometimes it’s just nice to sit with a game that doesn’t take too much of your attention. Whether you just want to play in the background while watching TV, or are looking for an enjoyable game that’s handy for driving around the city. Newly added games include Knittens, Wonderputt Forever, and Dominoes Cafe. As you might have guessed from the names of the last two, Wonderputt Forever is a casual golf game while Dominoes Cafe is a casual domino game.

What about Knittens? Well, let me tell you. Knittens is a match-3 puzzle game that features images of cute and cute kittens. And honestly, how can you not enjoy it, unless you hate cats or puzzles. It definitely won’t be game of the year under any circumstances. But you might still like it. Even by accident. And at least it can be a great game if you have kids. Something that you can let them play when they ask you to play a game on your phone.

Don’t launch the app thinking you’re about to be greeted with a crop of hardcore action movies or AAA RPGs. Netflix is starting to focus more on the gaming space, adding to its library of offerings, but all games are still fairly casual. However, this does not mean that they will not bring pleasure.
