Netflix, the world's largest streaming service, has finally added games to its platform. The streaming service revealed five new games for Android customers around the globe. The game includes Stranger Things: 1984, Stranger Things 3: The Game, Teeter Up, Shooting Hoop and Card Blast. The games were first published for Android, and users may access them via the dedicated games row or games page on their mobile devices. On tablets, users may look at these games via a drop-down menu and then download them via Google Play. Once downloaded, the games will be accessible immediately from the Netflix app.
