Netflix expands with new video game service
All Netflix users will soon have access to a library of new mobile video games, a free addition to its current service.
Right now, Android users can play five games from Netflix: Stranger Things: 1984, Stranger Things 3, Shooting Hoops, Card Blast and Teeter Up.
To download and play, subscribers will need to access Netflix games through the Netflix app. Users will then be directed to your device's app store to download the games.

Netflix claims there'll be no ads and no in-app purchases with these new titles.

A Netflix spokesperson says those using iOS devices will need to look out for an announcement "in the coming months".
The question is: Are these new games enough to entice new subscribers?
It's definitely a start.
But these games are far from ground-breaking in the current gaming world.
