News & Reviews:   Netflix Games

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.

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.

During Netflix's fourth-quarter 2024 financial report, it was revealed by co-CEO Greg Peters that the company is planning to do a couch co-op and party games on our TVs. Since 2023, Netflix has offered a "subset" of subscribers to try playing games that are streamed over the cloud and will continue to invest in it.

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. 

In case you didn't know - yes, Netflix Games is a thing for mobile users who are subscribed to Netflix. That said, the company may be working on something to allow you to play Netflix Games on your TV with your iPhone as a controller, according to Bloomberg.

In case you didn’t know, Netflix Games is a venture that the popular video streaming company expanded into since November 2021 which is a service that provides mobile games to Netflix subscribers for free. Well, the latest original title that Netflix Games recently released is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge which is a game worth checking out. 

Streaming giant Netflix is serious about branching out into the gaming industry and has announced that it will not just rely on third-party game teams for its gaming catalogue. Instead, the company is forming an in-house game studio based in Helsinki, Finland and aims to create “world-class” original titles.
