Netflix Expands Entertainment Offerings with Exclusive Games and the Growing Squid Game Franchise

Netflix continues to enhance its entertainment portfolio with an expanding lineup of exclusive games, including titles inspired by its popular series and films. Available with all memberships and free of ads, in-app purchases, or extra fees, Netflix’s gaming library now includes Emily in Paris, Too Hot to Handle, and Virgin River-themed games, alongside renowned hits like GTA: San Andreas – The Definitive Edition, Storyteller, and Hades.

A standout addition to the gaming platform is Monument Valley 3, which debuted on December 10, exclusively for Netflix members. This marks the return of the award-winning franchise, making Netflix the only platform where fans can access the full Monument Valley collection.

One notable exception to Netflix’s membership requirement is the highly anticipated Squid Game: Unleashed, a multiplayer video game set to launch in 2024.

Since its 2021 debut, Squid Game has become a cultural juggernaut, cementing its place as Netflix’s most-watched series. Created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, the Korean drama captivated global audiences, sparking increased interest in K-content and driving trends like an 8,000% surge in Vans slip-on sneakers sales and sold-out Halloween costumes inspired by the series.

The show made Emmy® history as the first non-English language series to win major awards. Building on its success, Netflix introduced Squid Game: The Challenge, a reality competition series that earned Emmy and BAFTA accolades while topping the Netflix Global Top 10 charts.

The Squid Game franchise has since expanded into immersive experiences, including Squid Game: The Experience, a touring activation where fans can participate in games inspired by the series, and Squid Game: Virtuals, a Webby-winning VR adventure.

Looking ahead, Squid Game remains a cornerstone of Netflix’s offerings. Season 2 is set to premiere on December 26, 2024, with the third and final season arriving in 2025. For gaming enthusiasts, the upcoming Squid Game: Unleashed promises an engaging multiplayer experience, further solidifying the franchise’s impact across multiple entertainment formats.

As Netflix continues to innovate, its unique blend of streaming and interactive entertainment keeps fans eagerly anticipating what’s next.
