Netflix’s Geeked Week 2023 included trailers for games like Hades, Braid: Anniversary Edition, Chicken Run: Eggstraction, and Death’s Door.
Netflix has been investing heavily into gaming over the past few years in its continued effort to become the Netflix of… well, everything. In addition to acquiring and building new game studios, nabbing big name talent, and moving into cloud gaming, the streamer is making a concerted effort to make the Netflix app a competitive destination for subscription-based mobile gaming. Though as of now, less than 1% of all Netflix users take advantage of the service.
That hasn’t slowed down Netflix’s determination in the space. During this year’s Geeked Week virtual event, the company announced a slew of new titles coming to the Netflix mobile app in 2024.
Along with major announcements and trailer premieres for several of its biggest upcoming series and movies like Avatar: The Last Airbender, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, Stranger Things, and The Umbrella Academy, Netflix has also shined a spotlight on several of its biggest games coming to the Netflix mobile app, as well as recent releases like Oxenfree II: Lost Signals and Slayaway Camp 2: Netflix and Kill.
Here are the biggest game announcements and trailers from Netflix Geeked Week 2023.Hades
If you’ve never played Supergiant’s peerless action roguelite before — or always wanted to play it on mobile — Netflix has you covered. An iOS version of Polygon’s 2020 game of the year is coming soon, exclusively to Netflix subscribers. Set in a gaudy, funny, sexy, and mysterious version of the Underworld of Greek myth, Hades follows Zagreus, prince of the Underworld, as he tries and tries and tries again (and again, and again) to escape his father’s domain.
