Netflix has announced that it is launching its mobile games for iOS s — an obvious move after initially bringing gaming titles to Android. Through the update, s on iOS devices will be able to play games — alongside watching movies and television shows through the Netflix app. The games will be not available with any ads or additional fees, though s need to have a Netflix subscription to experience them on their iPhone or iPad. The initial list of games available through Netflix are limited to adults and are not accessible through kids' profiles. Young s will also not be able to play any of the available games on a device if you have set up a PIN to prevent kids from having access to your adult profile.

On Tuesday, Netflix announced the launch of mobile games for its on iPhone and iPad. The update will be available to s starting Wednesday, the company said.

The new announcement notably comes just a week after Netflix brought App Store.

Netflix's interest in the growing world of gaming is not new as it formally announced plans to start offering games during its quarterly earnings in July. The Los Gatos, California-headquartered company also hired Mike Verdu as the Vice President of its Game Development unit earlier this year to kick-off the plans. Verdu is a former Zynga in the past.

Originally, Netflix tested the five early mobile games in select European markets as a result of acquiring video game developer Night School Studio in September. The video streaming platform has also been working with indie games studios including BonusXP for some time.

As games are mainly going to please adults at the beginning, Netflix recently also Fast Laughs where you get short videos to view vertically on mobile devices.
