News & Reviews:   netflix game

According to The Verge, Netflix might launch support for vertical video feed soon. So, what should you know about it?

It's official, Netflix has confirmed that FIFA is coming to Netflix Games in time for the FIFA World Cup 2026. The announcement, shared as part of Netflix Tudum’s latest news, marks a major expansion of the platform’s gaming lineup and promises a new football simulation game designed to bring the excitement of the World Cup directly into subscribers’ hands.

In an unexpected move, Rockstar Games has confirmed that its critically acclaimed Western adventure Red Dead Redemption (along with the standalone DLC ­Undead Nightmare) will launch across modern platforms on 2 December 2025. The rollout spans mobile (iOS and Android), streaming via Netflix Games, and current-generation consoles, including the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.

In case you didn't know, Netflix released its first Squid Game: Unleashed mobile game app when the show's third season aired earlier this year. Unfortunately, the developers who built the game app didn't live long enough, as Netflix has confirmed that Boss Fight, the game studio behind the app, will be shut down.

From time to time, we would read news about Netflix expanding its gaming portfolio here and there. However, it seems that the company is scaling back its mobile games catalogue by removing more than 20 titles, including acclaimed favourites like Hades, Monument Valley, and Before Your Eyes.

Netflix has been pushing for a different take with its Netflix Games service, offering access to big titles like GTA. Unfortunately, few users play the 86 games on the platform. And Netflix clearly wants to make money from it, so there are plans for changes.

Yup, you read that right. Netflix Games is expanding its library further with three huge GTA titles, namely GTA III, GTA: San Andreas and GTA: Vice City. Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is listed on the Apple App Store as 'coming soon'. 

You probably have played Hades on your console or PC. Well, how about playing it on your mobile device? In a surprising announcement, Supergiant Games the developer of Hades, officially announced that the game is indeed coming to iOS devices such as the iPhone and iPad via Netflix Games. 

Previously, we mentioned Netflix’s Game Controller App on iOS. Today, Netflix’s VP for the Gaming Division, Mike Verdu confirmed that you can now play mobile games on the streaming platform. That said, this is what you should know about gaming on Netflix.

Back at the end of March this year, we reported that Netflix could be secretly working on a phone game controller for the TV. Well, TechCrunch.com just discovered that there's a new Netflix Game Controller app on the Apple App Store.
