Netflix has entered the gaming universe recently. In August, Netflix allowed people to try out their games for the first time. Just a week ago, Netflix officially released its games on the Android platform. For iOS users, however, the prospects of being able to access and play games from Netflix were uncertain, given Apple’s App Store policies.
Apple’s policies do not allow third-party apps to act as games hubs and have been an issue for cloud gaming services. Netflix will be releasing the games of the iOS platform as well.
With a new update for Netflix, iOS devices will be able to host games from Netflix along with the usual streaming services from today, the 10th of November. The games will also be available without any additional costs to Netflix subscribers.

- The games will not be downloaded with the new update, and will not be playable through the Netflix app itself. You will need to download and install the games individually. Then, launch them through the Netflix app.
- The app will have a row and games tab where you will see the available games. Clicking on any game will redirect users to the App Store or the Google Play Store. Once it is installed, users can open the Netflix app and launch the game from there.
The list of Netflix games now available includes:
- Shooting Hoops (Frosty Pop)
- Teeter Up (Frosty Pop)
- Card Blast (Amuzo & Rogue Games)
- Stranger Things: 1984 (BonusXP)
- Stranger Things 3: The Game (BonusXP).
Some of them may require an active internet connection to play, while others can be played offline as well. The games are only available for adults, and the Kids’ profiles will not be able to access games. users can set a pin to prevent kids from accessing the adult profiles as well.
