Netflix Starts Testing Mobile Games in Its Android App

Aug. 27, 2021



To begin with, Netflix has released two mobile games based on its wildly popularNetflix Original TV series, Stranger Things. Dubbed Stranger Things: 1984 and Stranger Things 3, Netflix subscribers in Poland can try out the games right now on their Android devices.

Netflix says itwon’t include ads in these games. They will also come without in-app purchases. Moreover, you won’t have to pay extra as these are available as part of your Netflix membership.

Once available, you will see links for these games on Netflix’s home feed. You will then be taken to the Google Play Store to download and install the games. In what seems like a strange move from the streaming giant,these are not cloud gaming titles. You will have to download the games the old-fashioned way. Once that’s done, you can sign in with your Netflix account to start playing them.
