I haven't held a sub at Netflix for some time now, but when I did, you'd just download the games from the (android) app store. No idea what the situation is for iOS. Of the games I've played, none were noteworthy.

Yeah, you install via the app store and then log in using netflix credentials. I'm a big fan of Into the Breach, and their android port is a netflix exclusive. It currently has 2.8 stars on the android store with many users complaining about not having a netflix account. I have been unable to play it on more that one occasion because I did not have service.

I have to disagree here! Netflix has released/published/made free with Netflix creds several games that are quite good and which had generally good reputations. A few standouts: * Into The Breach (great Android port) * Moonlighter * Poinpy * Dead Cells * OXENFREE * World Of Goo Many of these were already available, but all those on the list were/are indie darlings and pretty good games. For the most part they're putting out good stuff, not just the typical mobile trash. Full games list here: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/121442 https://help.netflix.com/en/node/121442

  Dead Cells alone costs $30 on Switch. Netflix offers it for free. It's the full game with all available expansions including the recent one that references Castlevania. The difference is that you get it on Android or iOS. If you buy a gamepad and are able to output to a decent sized monitor or have a tablet, you have a great gaming experience worth dozens of hours. I think Netflix can really find success expanding into gaming. For now they seem to be working very much Undercover, but they've been adding a ton of content there. I'm sure they're building it up and at some point they'll throw some marketing behind it.

  OXENFREE is such an underrated gem. Dead Cells was quite enjoyable as well.
