Netflix Gaming Service
The first thing that users need to is that the games would be available in the Netflix app on Android phones and tablets only (for now). At launch, only these five games would be available:
- Stranger Things: 1984
- Stranger Things 3
- Shooting Hoops
- Card Blast
- Teeter Up
But Netflix plans to add more games to the roster gradually. The service will be available in over 190 countries including the US and Canada. But let's discuss other important questions here.
Is There An Additional Fee For Netflix Games?
No. All you need is an active Netflix subscription to its streaming service to access the games. There are no ads, additional fees, or microtransactions in the games.
