Netflix subscribers are getting one of the decade’s best games

Netflix announced a slew of new games coming its mobile gaming platform. The list is headlined by Supergiant Games’ 2020 hit Hades, which will be available on mobile devices for any Netflix subscriber when it launches.

Netflix Games launched in 2021 and continues to expand its offering of titles. The company upped its commitment to gaming during today’s Geeked Week stream, which revealed several games coming to the platform. Hades is the crown jewel, but several other notable games are coming to the platform soon.

  • Katana Zero
  • Death’s Door
  • Money Heist
  • Chicken Run: Eggstraction
  • The Dragon Prince: Xadia
  • Braid: Anniversary Edition

Hades is one of 2020’s best games and is currently available on PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox. A sequel, Hades 2, is currently in development and will enter early access during the second quarter of 2024. Also notable among the additions are Katana Zero and Death’s Door, two critical hits from publisher Devolver Digital. We don’t have exact release dates for those quite yet, but they will be available to all Netflix subscribers at no extra charge when they launch.

Braid: Anniversary Edition is a remaster of the original indie sensation from 2008. It was initially released on Xbox 360 via the Xbox Live Arcade and came to PC and PS3 at later dates. To celebrate the game’s 15th anniversary, the remaster will have improved sound, hand-repainted graphics, and smoother animations. Players will also have the ability to swap back and forth between both the old and new versions of Braid on the fly. It’s due out sometime in April 2024.

The best Call of Duty games, ranked
Soldier holding weapon in Modern Warfare II.

Few video game series are as influential and popular as Call of Duty. The annualized franchise throws players into fast-paced battles across various historical time periods -- along with fictional eras, as well. Call of Duty has taken us to World War II, the Cold War, a modern setting, and even to the future.

Although it's one of the most successful video game franchises out there, Call of Duty's quality varies significantly, with some fantastic entries in the series, but many mediocre ones as well. But which Call of Duty games are worth your time and which ones should you skip? To answer that question, we've ranked all the mainline entries in the series, with details about why you should or shouldn't play that particular game.

The Game Awards could use some new categories, so we made them ourselves
1K looks at a cliff in The Talos Principle 2.

The Game Awards features 24 game-related categories -- and even that doesn't feel like enough every time nominees are announced. Indies and more experimental games are often overlooked as the current categories reward the biggest AAA action-focused titles. Geoff Keighley has stated that he constantly assesses which award categories should be present at The Game Awards, but the only major addition recently was Best Game Adaptation in 2022.

There are entire genres and types of games that can feel ignored every year during The Game Awards. This year, we decided to come up with a few new categories of our own, highlight some potential nominees that we think would be worth nominating for these categories if they were to have existed this year, and explain why each category deserves to be added to the Game Awards.

One of the best sci-fi games ever made is coming to Nintendo Switch next month
outer wilds nintendo switch indie world

During the November 2023 Indie World Showcase, it was revealed that many intriguing indie titles are coming to the Nintendo Switch over the next year. One of the show's biggest announcements was that Outer Wilds -- a critically acclaimed sci-fi game about exploring a solar system throughout repeating time loops -- is finally coming to the Nintendo Switch next month.

A Nintendo Switch port for Outer Wilds was first teased in 2021 and intended to be released during the summer of that year, but it did not make that release window. We did not hear much else about the port until now outside of a mention during one of publisher Annapurna Interactive's own showcases. An Indie World Showcase segment dedicated to the game showed some of its physics-based spacefaring gameplay in action on the Switch, and it seemed to look nice and run at a solid frame rate. Called Outer Wilds: Archaeologist Edition, this version of the game comes with the Echoes of the Eye DLC and will launch digitally on December 7. It will get a physical Switch release sometime next year.
