Netflix has been turning some of its more popular series, like Too Hot to Handle and Emily in Paris, into mobile games. And that trend continues as the streaming giant is set to transform shows like Outer Banks and The Ultimatum into games.
The service is virtually synonymous with streaming movies and TV shows, such as Black Mirror and Stranger Things, but your subscription also gives you access to mobile games you can play on your iOS or Android device. If you subscribe to Netflix (which starts at $7 a month), you can play these games and many more without ads or in-app purchases at no additional charge.
Here are the games Netflix subscribers can play soon. You can also check out all the games the company announced at its Geeked Week event.
