Earlier this year, Netflix had announced that it is expanding into the world of gaming with titles based on its popular shows and movies. At the time, Netflix had revealed that it will focus on developing mobile games initially, and the games will be available to all subscribers at no additional cost. After doing a limited test of Netflix games in Poland, Netflix has finally launched its games for all subscribers globally. Currently, Netflix games are available only on Android devices, with the iOS version coming soon.
