Netflix announced that the Netflix Games service is launching globally today.
The Netflix Gaming service is intended to appeal to casual gamers as well as gamers who want to dive into a more immersive experience. Netflix Games is affiliated with the Netflix subscription service with the promise that it will not contain "ads, surcharges and in-app purchases".
The release starts on mobile phones and tablets with Android, while support for iOS devices will come later.
Netflix Games will offer games in multiple languages that are linked to the Netflix language profile. English will only come as a default if a language is not yet supported. Netflix Games will have a streaming setting for "Adult Only" games that will not be immediately accessible to children by default if a PIN is set.
As of today, Netflix subscribers using Android worldwide can play Stranger Things: 1984, Stranger Things 3: The Game, Shooting Hoops, Card Blast, and Teeter Up.
As with Netflix streaming, subscribers will be able to use multiple mobile devices with one account.
George is still wondering what he is doing here….
