Netflix Games review

Netflix Games is the cheapest way onto this list if you already pay for Netflix, because the games are part of the membership, with no ads, fees or in-app purchases. Netflix's US plans start at $8.99 a month with ads. On supported TVs and in Chrome or Edge on a computer, a Games tab lists titles you can launch, and each player scans a QR code to use a phone or tablet as the controller. Netflix recommends download speeds of 10 Mbps or higher. Netflix calls TV and browser play a beta that is not on every device yet. It does not fit the big titles part of our angle: gamepads are not supported, and the TV lineup centers on party games rather than console blockbusters. Treat it as a free extra for game nights, not as a replacement for a console.
