Netflix rolls out 2 new mobile games this month

Beginning today, Netflix subscribers can play Kentucky Route Zero and Twelve Minutes, two critically acclaimed games by Annapurna Interactive, on the iOS and Android versions of the Netflix mobile app.

With the release of these two games, which are included in the Netflix membership and free of advertisements and in-app purchases like all other games, Netflix concluded its first full year of game development, following the rollout of seven new mobile games last month.

Kentucky Route Zero

All five acts and interludes of Cardboard Computer’s BAFTA-winning Kentucky Route Zero are now available. This magical adventure game features a distinctive visual aesthetic that draws from theatre, film, experimental electronic art, and video gaming history.

Twelve Minutes

Tap and drag to escape a time-loop nightmare in this Tribeca Festival-nominated interactive thriller by Luis Antonio. James McAvoy, Daisy Ridley, and Willem Dafoe lend their voices. You’re in a 12-minute time loop, reliving the same terror… Breaking free? Real-time clues can help you modify the outcome.

Too Hot to Handle: Love Is a Game

This game is based on the Too Hot to Handle series. Love or temptation? Now’s your opportunity to join this reality dating series!

Scriptic: Crime Stories

Discover hints. Find a murderer. You’re the principal investigator in a crime drama, and you have the victim’s cell phone. In this BAFTA-nominated game, you play as a London Yard murder detective and sift through a victim’s smartphone.

Solitaire

Cards can be moved around to be arranged in decreasing order with alternating colors. Sort all the suits from ace to king; this classic game is one you’re sure to enjoy.

Games Coming Q1 2023

Netflix also shared about a few games that are coming in Q1 2023, as follows:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is limited to Netflix users. In this ’80s-inspired beat ’em up, players may kick the shell with Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo.

Vikings: Valhalla

In Vikings: Valhalla, players rule violent tribes and develop settlements. As their support grows, they’ll conduct wars and expand their dominance. To claim a stake in the ever-changing power balance will involve courage, wit, and innovation.

Availability

Starting today, users of the Netflix mobile app on their Android or iOS devices can find the above-mentioned games, as well as many others, within the app.

Announcing the new games, Netflix shared in a blog post that:

It’s hard to believe that it was only in November 2021 that we announced our ambition to launch games on Netflix as a way to bring even more entertainment to our members. Since then, the game catalog has grown from zero to 48 games, representing many genres, award-winning titles and beloved independent games.

While this is only the beginning, we’re excited to continue bringing more games to our members in the years to come — from our amazing developer partners and our six internal game studios — to offer something for everyone.
