Time to level up. You can now play free mobile games like Stranger Things: 1984 on your Netflix app.

Netflix took to Twitter on November 2 to announce the new feature for subscribers: “It’s early days, but we’re excited to start bringing you exclusive games, with no ads, no additional fees and no in-app purchases.”

If you already have any kind of Netflix subscription plan, you don’t need to pay extra for Netflix games.

What games can I play on the Netflix App?

Netflix kicked off its venture into the mobile gaming world with five exclusive titles.

  • Stranger Things: 1984
  • Stranger Things 3: The Game
  • Shooting Hoops
  • Card Blast
  • Teeter Up

You can play these games directly on the Netflix app via Android smartphones and tablets. If you have a Netflix subscription, you can also download free versions of these games from the Google Play store.

And don’t worry, iPhone and iPad users. Netflix says it will launch games for you all soon.

For avid gamers who aren’t too impressed with the first suite of Netflix games, the company will likely release more titles. In fact, Netflix recently acquired “Oxenfree” developer Night School. This is the company responsible for popular titles like 2016’s “Oxenfree” and 2019’s “Afterparty.”

How much are Netflix mobile games?

If you have a Netflix streaming subscription, you can play free Netflix mobile games on the Netflix app via your Android device or by downloading titles from the Google Play store.
