With this new app, Netflix has also announced the first couple of games that will be playable on Android and iOS devices; Stranger Things: 1984, Stranger Things 3, Shooting Hoops, Card Blast, and Teeter Up. These games are just the beginning, as Netflix has promised that more games will be released for Netflix gaming.
Here are the five games available to download and play, with a whole lot more coming!

Currently, this app is only available for mobile devices, though I’m sure someone will figure out how to sideload it — It never fails. Also, while Netflix Gaming is only for Android and iOS, you will be able to play the games with a Bluetooth controller.
It wasn’t that long ago that Netflix has announced it was getting into the gaming business, and now they’re finally ready to dive headfirst. It’s ironic that the service that started the catalog of gaming services, such as Xbox Game Pass, is finally getting involved themselves. It will be interesting to see what exclusive games will arrive on Netflix Gaming and if they’ll be worthwhile.
