Netflix has officially added a gaming section for users on mobile devices (Android phone and tablets only as at launch). Netflix Games will start out with the following options in its library: Stranger Things: 1984 (BonusXP), Stranger Things 3: The Game (BonusXP), Shooting Hoops (Frosty Pop), Card Blast (Amuzo & Rogue Games), and Teeter Up (Frosty Pop), with the promise of more to come.
According to the official announcement, the company’s VP, Game Development, Mike Verdu says Netflix Games does not require any extra subscription or fees, in-app purchases, or ads. Android users will see a dedicated game row and tab, where there are games to download and play.
