New analytics shows some are unaware that their phone does have games
Apptopia’s data also claims Netflix’s games have been downloaded a total of 23.3 million times.
Netflix’s push into games kicked off last year, and the company has been steadily rolling out more titles on the service. This service does require a Netflix subscription, andhas a few methods for download. Android owners can either use the Netflix app or turn on a permission in the Google Play Store, while iOS users can just use the Netflix app.
A quietly killer library
It’s an interesting tension, because Netflix’s library has been steadily getting pretty solid.
Turn-based tactical strategy gameInto the Breachis on the service, with its recentAdvanced Editionupdate. Camera-based narrativeBefore Your Eyesis now on the service too, as isPoinpy, the latest game fromDownwellcreator Ojiro Fumoto.
Other games, like Sam Barlow and Half Mermaid’s upcomingImmortality, are also headed to the Netflix games section. And withNight School Studio under the Netflix banner, you can imagine some more intriguing stories are on the way too.
The question, I suppose, is why adoption isn’t more widespread. While a few million is nothing to sneeze at, it also seems like Netflix’s gaming side isn’t immediately grabbing regular mobile users just yet. Maybe Netflix viewers are too entrenched in their habits. Or maybe some aren’t even fully aware of the Games side of their Netflix app.
Either way, Netflix still has more games on the way. And if game adaptations are more your thing, there’smore of that coming too.
