After confirming a hotly anticipated move into gaming in July, Netflix has begun rolling out its new mobile games platform to mobile Android devices.

Initially, five games are available for Netflix subscribers to play at no additional cost, and it should come as no surprise that two of them tie in with a Netflix original series, Stranger Things. Members can now play Stranger Things: 1984, Stranger Things 3: The Game, Card Blast, Teeter Up and Shooting Hoops, with the streaming giant promising more titles as it aims to “build a library of games that offers something for everyone”. 

The games will not be available on kids’ profiles, and those with PIN protection will need to enter that same PIN to play.
