In case you haven't heard, Netflix is launching a cheaper new tier but comes with ads. Dubbed "Basic with Ads," it's priced at $6.99 launching in the US this November 3. While this announcement may not fare well with a lot of subscribers, there is one important thing that you need to know. That is, ads will only be shown on movies and TV shows, not games.
Yes, Netflix has its own portfolio of mobile games. It was in November 2021 when the streaming giant first launched this feature with five titles in Stranger Things: 1984, Stranger Things 3: The Game, Shooting Hoops, Card Blast, and Teeter Up. To download them, just have an active subscription to Netflix.
