Streaming giant Netflix has announced a summer slate of 14 new games coming to its Netflix Games service. The lineup includes a number of highly popular titles and upcoming video game releases, giving subscribers a fun variety of new gaming experiences to enjoy on Netflix.

Best-known as a frontrunner in the movie and television streaming space, Netflix has recently implemented the brand-new Netflix Games service, which allows its subscribers to play a number of video games via the Netflix app. While the service is still being rolled out in various countries and remains in a "testing" phase, users can look forward to a number of exciting new releases for the streamer's gaming library this summer.

Netflix has released an official trailer confirming 14 more games coming to its gaming service in the next few months. Familiar titles including Don't Starve Together, The Case of the Golden Idol, and Rotwood are among the lineup, along with several new entries in the Netflix Stories series, featuring games based on popular Netflix original series like Selling Sunset, Emily in Paris, and Perfect Match. Many of the games have been given release dates, though others have been marked as "coming soon" or given a broader summer release window. Netflix has already added several big-name titles to its gaming library, such as Hades, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and Dead Cells, among others. As AAA game companies like Microsoft and Sony work to balance physical releases with video game subscription services, Netflix looks to be expanding its existing online offerings by entering the gaming fray.

Fans can look forward to a number of surprising additions to Netflix Games this summer, with dating sims, point-and-click mystery, action-adventure, survival, and card games among the array of upcoming additions. Perhaps most surprising are the unreleased games, such as Tales of the Shire and Lab Rats, that are already slated to be launched on Netflix Games, indicating that they may be available to Netflix subscribers at a similar time to their release on other platforms. Whether Netflix Games will prove to be a competitor against the massive library of Xbox Game Pass or the growing popularity of PS Plus remains to be seen, but competition among big companies is likely to benefit consumers in the long run.

Being able to enjoy a number of fun games on a mobile device without having to purchase additional hardware, such as a console or PC, makes gaming more accessible. In spite of some audiences remaining skeptical about the value of gaming subscription services, it is promising to see an entertainment powerhouse such as Netflix branching out to offer new opportunities to gaming fans.
