As announced, Netflix Games has arrived on the App Store with video games for iPhone and iPad. So the titles included in the television subscription can finally be played on iPhone and iPad with all the security provided by Apple and in full compliance with the rules of its store, and at no additional cost for those who are already Netflix subscribers.
The style is similar to that of the Apple Arcade service because here too there are no advertising, no additional fees or in-app purchases to be able to emerge in the individual video games, thus enjoying a complete playful experience. Just download the Netflix app available for free on the App Store for iPhone and iPad (or from the Play Store for Android devices) and log in with your account to be able to scroll through the various contents and access the Netflix Games section dedicated to video games , where at the time of writing there are five listed.
From here, users can read the technical data sheet of Stranger Things 1984, Stranger Things 3, Shooting Hoops, Teeter Up and Card Blast to learn more and, if necessary, proceed with the download, which refers directly to the relevant page on the App store. Possibly even those who do not download the Netflix app can still track down the same titles from the Apple store (possibly by accessing the developer's page directly, both for iPhone and iPad and for Android), even if to play you will always need the access with the account from which the validity of the subscription must necessarily be verified.
Availability on the App Store was confirmed by the company via an update to its page last week announcing the launch of the same service on Android, which currently shares the same list of video games.
According to rumors, a sixth title will soon be added to the library: this is "Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story", a musical runner "starring Ziggs, unforgettable yordle and expert on hexplosives" set in the universe of the very popular MOBA from Riot Game that will be available on PC and Nintendo Switch on November 16th.
As we said at the beginning, this system falls perfectly within the App Store rules because Apple maintains control over the publication of individual video games by Netflix and can consequently also receive the commission (equal to 30% in the first year and 15% from the second year) that Netflix collects from subscribers. In fact, for each title, Netflix must ask users to log in with an existing account or register a new one and, in this case, the registration process uses the integrated in-app purchase system.
