Today, Netflix announced (and launched) its new Netflix Games service, something that we previously caught wind of via the streaming company’s developer acquisition efforts. For now this service is available for folks with Android-based mobile devices, with plans to get it rolled out for iOS users sometime later.

The biggest part of this news is that Netflix Games comes with a regular Netflix subscription. According to the company’s website, there are no fees, ads or purchases required.
It looks like accessing the games has been integrated right into the Netflix app’s main UI, with a new tab or row for Games depending on the device you’re using. This access applies to every user on the account, although a “kids” profile does not grant Games permission.
The following games are available as of launch:
- Stranger Things: 1984
- Stranger Things 3: The Game
- Shooting Hoops
- Card Blast
- Teeter Up
