Movie streaming media, Netflix, has released five new games on its platform, with the objective of promoting the brand to globally become the biggest go-to app for entertainment.

This is coming after the purchase of the California-based Night School Studio, the creators of Oxenfree, a paranormal thriller game to break into the gaming sector.

It could be seen that two of the games released are based on the Netflix horror series Stranger Things, while the other three are classified as undercard and skill mobile games.

This was made known in the release distributed by the company which noted that there would be more to watch out for.

“We’re excited to take our first step in launching Netflix games on mobile to the world,” the company said in the release.

According to the company, the team is set to begin the building of a game library that would offer something for everyone.

To achieve the projected increase in value of the platform introducing a game forum, and to lead its gaming team, Netflix recruited Facebook’s Mike Verdu, a talented video game veteran.

The released games are free to assess by Netflix users, and currently, only subscribers in countries like Italy, Poland and Spain have access to the games since the global rollout on Tuesday.

“Just like our series, films and specials, we want to design games for any level of play and every kind of player,” Netflix noted.

For now, the games are designed to play on Android phones or tablets that have functional Netflix accounts. iPhone and iPads do not have access for now.
