Little more than a month we have had to wait since Netflix announced that they were going to include games in their subscription so that said service was already a reality, at least for a country. Netflix has already launched its game service in Poland.
As advertised Netflix, it’s a very, very early release, a test to start testing already said game service integrated into your application, where in their announcement they acknowledge that they still have a lot of work to do in the coming months so that the Netflix games reach everyone, but the good thing about this is that they finally give us the first details of its new games section.
This will be the new Netflix games section for Android
Netflix’s game service is no longer a mystery, and with its launch in Poland we already know that these are not streaming games, but games that will be installed on your mobile like any Android game.
Within the Netflix app, Polish users from today will see a new category of games where to install two games: Stranger Things: 1984 and Stranger Things 3: Gra, titles that came to Android and iOS in 2017 and 2019 respectively and that now new players can only get from Netflix.
To install these games, you will have to open their files from the Netflix application, where we will see the “Install” button, but will redirect us to the Play Store for installation. Therefore the games are installed from Google Play and not from the Netflix application itself.
Only Netflix subscribers will be able to download those games from the Play Store, where they will be able to play the games that Netflix includes no advertising or in-app purchases. At the moment they have only released those games and it is unknown what more games they will add to their subscription, whether they will be exclusive games based on their series and movies or will they add third-party games following the steps of Apple Arcade or Google Pay Pass.
