The streaming service Netflix not only offers movies and series. With Netflix Games, there are also games hidden in your subscription. But which ones are they and what are they good for?
Did you even know that there are games hiding in your Netflix subscription? And we don’t mean interactive films like Bandersnatch, but a small list of mobile games that subscribers can download for free from the App Store or Play Store. Currently, the selection is still a little curious – a mixture of solid PC games and very rudimentary mobile games. We have all the games for you that you can currently get on subscription.
How can you download the games? Simply go to the “Games” tab at the bottom of your Netflix app on your mobile device and select the game of your choice to download. Alternatively, you can search and download the game titles directly from the App Store or Play Store if you already have the Netflix app.
