While most users perceive Netflix exclusively as a service for watching movies and TV shows, the company has long been developing another direction that not everyone knows about.

It turns out that a Netflix subscription unlocks access to a vast library of mobile games for iPhone and iPad, with no ads, microtransactions, or additional payments. Today, the catalog already includes over 80 full-fledged projects across a wide range of genres – from major hits to exclusive games based on popular series.

One subscription – dozens of games with no hidden fees

The main advantage of Netflix’s game catalog lies in its simplicity.

All you need is an active subscription to the service – and most games become available without any additional purchases.

Even the basic “Standard with Ads” plan, which costs $8.99 USD (approximately 8.30 EUR) per month, already includes full access to the mobile game library.

After installing a game from the App Store, simply log in with your Netflix account – no separate subscriptions need to be set up.

No ads, energy, or intrusive purchases

Compared to most mobile games, Netflix’s offering looks especially unusual.

All projects are completely free of:

  • advertisements;
  • mandatory in-app purchases;
  • energy restrictions;
  • additional subscriptions;
  • hidden fees.

Players get a fully finished version without constant prompts to buy something.

That is why many projects that used to be sold separately are now getting a second life thanks to the Netflix subscription. 

What to play first

The catalog is constantly expanding, but even now it already features plenty of genuine gaming hits.

Games are not just for smartphones

Netflix is gradually becoming a full-fledged gaming ecosystem.

In addition to mobile devices, the company is developing games for TVs. For this purpose, it uses the Netflix Game Controller app, which turns an iPhone or iPad into a game controller for Smart TVs.

There are also separate apps available:

Netflix is gradually becoming a competitor to gaming services

Just a few years ago, it was hard to imagine that a streaming subscription could replace a full-fledged gaming catalog.

However, today Netflix already offers dozens of high-quality projects across various genres, with no ads, in-app purchases, or additional fees.

If the company continues to expand its library at the same pace, its gaming direction could well become one of the most compelling advantages of the subscription, alongside movies and TV shows.
