Netflix is making great strides in the world of video games. Since November 2021, the company has been offering several titles that can be played on mobile platforms. In addition, Netflix has included interactive games like Black Mirror: Bandersnatch and Carmen Sandiego. The gaming division of Netflix has even hired industry veterans, including former Halo head Joseph Staten, to create a AAA PC game. They have also partnered with Ubisoft to develop multiple games, including an Assassin’s Creed title to accompany a new live-action series. Netflix has also released other high-profile titles such as Monument Valley and a Tomb Raider roguelike.
In August 2023, Netflix is introducing four new games to its gaming service. These include Samurai Showdown, Lego Legacy: Heroes Unboxed, WrestleQuest, and Cut the Rope Daily. Samurai Showdown is a reboot of the classic fighting game franchise that aims to recreate the gameplay of the original while updating the graphics and mechanics. Lego Legacy: Heroes Unboxed allows players to collect vintage and current LEGO minifigures, build sets, and engage in turn-based battles. WrestleQuest combines Japanese role-playing games with a pro-wrestling premise, where players level up, manage a party, and complete missions. Cut the Rope Daily, created by ZeptoLab, offers a new puzzle every day and allows players to compete with friends.
To play these games, users must have a valid Netflix subscription. The addition of these new titles shows Netflix’s commitment to expanding its gaming catalog and providing a diverse range of gaming experiences for its subscribers.
