Many gamers and analysts were sceptical of Netflix's desire to break into the mobile gaming market. For a long time the Netflix Games app for Android, iOS and some SMART TVs remained unclaimed, but everything was changed by the release of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition, which turned out to be in much better technical condition than on PC and consoles and attracted a huge number of users.

Here's What We Know

The network published the actual statistics of game downloads in the application Netflix, which showed that the number of downloads exceeded 210 million, of which 36.6 million falls on the Grand Theft Auto series.

The undisputed popularity leader in Netflix Games is the iconic GTA: San Andreas, which has amassed 25.2 million downloads, with Netflix subscribers downloading it more than a million times in the last 30 days alone.

Netflix Top 10 Games:

  • GTA: San Andreas - 25.2 million
  • Storyteller - 15 million
  • Spongebob: Get Cooking - 10.7 million
  • Bloons TD 6 - 10 million
  • Too Hot to Handle - 8.98 million
  • Football Manager 2024 Mobile - 8.92 million
  • GTA: Vice City - 7.8 million
  • Asphalt Xtreme - 6.2 million
  • Stranger Things: 1984 - 5.95 million
  • Farming Simulator 23 - 5.8 million

Popularisation of its own game service is beneficial not only for Netflix, but also for gamers and developers: the former are offered great games, and the latter see the real demand and get an incentive to port their projects and conclude mutually beneficial cooperation with Netflix. And since tens of millions of people are subscribed to this streaming service, we can be sure that many of them are interested not only in films and TV series, but also in mobile games.

Importantly, the contract with Netflix allows developers to focus on creating high-quality products without the need to introduce microtransactions and intrusive adverts, and this ultimately benefits consumers.
