Media streaming subscription service Netflix is now rolling out a new type of content into its vast library of binge-able shows: video games.
Over in Poland, Netflix subscribers can download two mobile games for Android, Stranger Things: 1984 and Stranger Things 3: The Game, as part of their subscription.
A tweet from the Netflix Geeked account noted that “it’s very, very early days and we’ve got a lot of work to do in the months ahead, but this is the first step.”
Games that are included in a Netflix subscription is expected to have no in-game ads, as well as no in-app purchases.
Various video game publishers have been doing a “Netflix for video games” subscription service, but now to see Netflix doing it themselves is an interesting move.
The company has produced and housed various new shows based on video game IPs (Castlevania, Dota, the new Monster Hunter show and technically The Witcher) under their subscription service, so there is an overlap of video game fans and fans of the general pop culture that will be into this.
No word on when will we see this new addition be rolled out to other countries, and what other games can we expect to join in the subscription. Again, it’s still early days.
