Squid Game: Unleashed, the official game based on the popular Netflix series Squid Game, is scheduled to roll out for iOS and Android users on December 17. Developed by Netflix Games, Squid Game: Unleashed is the streaming giant's latest IP to get the video game treatment, after other top shows like Stranger Things. However, unlike previous games, it will not be exclusive to Netflix subscribers at launch.
Over the past few years, Netflix has been steadily ramping up its efforts in gaming, acquiring various developers and hiring top execs to build its game division. During this time, it has adapted popular shows, such as Money Heist and Narcos, into games and added them as one of the subscription benefits. On the other hand, popular games, including GTA: San Andreas and Hades, have also been made available to Netflix subscribers. Most recently, the OTT leader has been busy promoting its forthcoming game, Squid Game: Unleashed, which releases right before the second season of Squid Game.
