Titles offered at no additional cost, do not include any adsany additional fees or in-app purchases included with the games.

As the company pointed out at the time, the games were designed to offer a choice of entertainment to users who, for example, could enjoy between one series and another, or were tempted by its association with some program being watched.

And that, appropriately, Netflix has tied many of the games available to popular shows like: “Stranger Things: 1984”, “Stranger Things 3: The Game” and an upcoming chess game based on “Queen’s Gambit”.
