Netflix now has over 20 mobile games available on its platform and below, you’ll find a full list of every single game Netflix has released so far on iOS and Android as of June 2022.
Gaming has already had a minor part to play in Netflix’s history so far with a small collection of games and VR experiences having been released over the years.
Their efforts going forward seem to be scaled up, however, with its first major acquisition of a game studio in the form of Night School Studio.
Having tested its first batch of mobiles games on Netflix in some European regions over the summer of 2021, the first batch of games rolled out on Android devices on November 1st, 2021. iOS came online on November 10th.
The concept of Netflix gaming thus far is very much akin to Apple Arcade whereby you get unlimited access to a collection of games as part of a membership fee (in this case, your Netflix membership).
As of January 24th, 2022 mobile games on Netflix saw 8.1 million downloads around the globe across both Android and iOS according to Apptopia.
