Netflix subscribers have access to a large selection of mobile games for iOS and Android devices included without any ads as part of the service. The library of titles includes exclusives as well as ports of games from consoles or other platforms. Being able to play high-quality mobile games without any ads is a luxury that isn't often available these days, and yet many subscribers still aren't aware that this service exists.
Netflix Games started releasing mobile games at the end of 2021 and has since continued to regularly expand its library of content available to subscribers. These games still need to be ed individually as apps from the iOS or Android stores and then logged into using Netflix credentials, but once logged in they are as easy to use as any other app. There are currently over fifty games available through Netflix Games and here are some suggestions of ones to try out.
10 TMNT: Shredder's Revenge
Netflix subscribers who are fans of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles should take advantage of their free access to TMNT: Shredder's Revenge.

The side-scrolling brawler featuring TMNT has carefully crafted mobile controls and all the chaotic fun to be expected in a game full of nostalgia where players revisit iconic locations and battle familiar foes.

7 SpongeBob: Get Cooking
Cooking time-management games have exploded in popularity on mobile markets, and while Netflix's SpongeBob: Get Cooking doesn't offer any new and exciting gameplay mechanics, the fun story and SpongeBob flavor of the game is a fun take on it. Whether making pancakes or Krabby Patties, SpongeBob adds cheerful enthusiasm and silly cutscenes to the experience.
6 Stranger Things 3: The Game

Though the game plays the same as Candy Crush and other similar titles, it is a fun adaptation available exclusively for Netflix subscribers without any ads or in-app purchases.
4 Before Your Eyes
Before Your Eyes is a work of art in game form. This title is not a Netflix exclusive as it can be purchased for Steam, Epic Games, and PS5.

2 Krispee Street
Based on a webcomic, Krispee, which encourages good feelings and emotion, Krispee Street takes the same artwork and optimism and applies it to this hidden object game, exclusive to Netflix Games. Hundreds of objects and characters are there for players to find while they enjoy the original music. Hints are provided if needed and there is a daily Wheel of Self-Care which offers suggestions for players to meditate, smile at someone, eat some fruit, and more. The game focuses on positivity and aims to brighten the day of anyone who plays it.
1 Asphalt Xtreme
Racing games have evolved through the years and Asphalt Xtreme is a prime example of that.

The rally race game provides a top-of-the-line racing experience through a mobile device and can be played solo or multiplayer.
