Netflix adds games to their offering

Netflix adds games to their offering

I often say that Netflix has answered my prayers, but this time it’s really true. Because seriously, last Monday I suddenly thought: I want to play more games. And not board games but computer games. In fact, I suddenly thought that I might need to buy a PlayStation or Nintendo (do they still sell those?). I used to be able to entertain myself for hours with The Sims or Rollercoaster Tycoon and I miss that a bit. I’ve never been a diehard gamer, but it seems wonderful to be able to play Donkey Kong or Street Racer again.

No idea if Netflix feels the same lack and if they think these games are cool too, but anyway: Netflix is getting into games. Side note: they will be on your phone, but hey, it’s a start. Okay, another side note: it’s currently only for Android users, but I assume that will change soon. I especially hope so, because I’m an iPhone user and I want those games too, thank you very much.

What games can you expect as an Android user? No less than two from Stranger Things, Card Blast, Teeter Up, and Shooting Hoops. You can find them when you open your app on your phone and then go to the new category ‘games’. It costs nothing extra. LOVE IT.
