Netflix launches its first mobile games, including “Stranger Things: 1984,” ”Stranger Things 3: The Game,” “Shooting Hoops,” “Card Blast” and “Teeter Up.”
The games are included with Netflix subscriptions and will not include advertisements or in-app purchases. While Netflix said it will build games as a standalone product that competes with other services, executives hope popular characters or games may be able to help with video content decisions in the future. For example, if the company recognizes a character is played in a game more often or one game does better than another, it could push the character or show to be featured more.
"Maybe someday we'll see a game that spawns a film or a series," Greg Peters, Netflix's chief operating officer and chief product officer, said earlier this summer. "That would be an amazing place to get to, to really see the rich interplay between these different forms of entertainment."
