Video-streaming giant Netflix, has added video games service to the platform with the introduction of five mobile games, playable on Android devices, while games on IOS devices are still being processed.

The titles are included in a Netflix subscription, and there’ll be no additional purchases required, Mike Verdu, Netflix’s vice president of game development, said.

The streaming company has targeted video games as its next big thing — it’s an industry that’s larger than the movie and TV businesses.

The initial offering includes titles linked to Netflix shows, such as Stranger Things: 1984 and Stranger Things 3: The Game.

Also included are Shooting Hoops, Card Blast and Teeter Up.
