Most of us are now fully aware of Netflix’s new gaming offering. The streaming giant has branched out in an attempt to disrupt one of the most lucrative markets out there, with users of the service now being able to access a huge selection of mobile-friendly titles from the comfort of their own phones.
While Netflix’s gaming package hasn’t recorded the same type of success as the movies and television shows on the service, there is a clear desire from the company to do so. After all, portable gaming is extremely popular in the modern environment. People are playing games through Facebook like 8 Ball Pool and exploring pirate-themed online casino titles like 2 Fortunate Pirates, which is a preference for many, while products like Candy Crush Saga have been a global hit for well over a decade. Now, Netflix wants a piece of the pie.
With over 100 games in Netflix’s library at the time of writing, let’s take a look at some of the very best titles to explore on iOS and Android devices. Make no mistake about it, Netflix’s gaming package will only get bigger and better in the future.
