Shortly after, the company also collaborated with a Texas-based game studio to develop its first mobile game based on 'Stranger Things: The Game', later renamed to 'Stranger Things: 1984' to distinguish it from Stranger Things 3. These were the first two games tested on Netflix Games for Android in the Polish market back in August.
In September, Netflix acquired Night School Studio, renowned for adventure horror games like Oxenfree, to enrich its game library. Additionally, last month, the company launched three new games, namely Shooting Hoops, Teeter Up, and Card Blast, for Netflix subscribers in Spain and Italy.
