Netflix to Launch Mobile Party Games

• Netflix is introducing a new collection of party games for shared entertainment.
• Popular titles including Pictionary and Boggle are coming to the service.
• The games will launch gradually throughout the coming months.

Netflix’s push into gaming has yielded mixed results over the years. While their aspirations to establish a major AAA studio appear to have slowed, the mobile game library remains robust. Now, regular Netflix users may soon join in the fun with fresh new party game features.

If you've ever enjoyed TV-based games like Jackbox, this setup may feel familiar—but in the best way. You’ll simply launch one of the new party games on your television, while other players join instantly using their smartphones—no extra equipment required.

Though the experience may not be as instantly accessible as Jackbox, the lineup includes notable titles. Look out for Pictionary: Game Night, Boggle Party, and a clever social deduction game called Party Crashers: Fool Your Friends.

Join the Fun!

It’s a bit surprising that Netflix has waited this long to focus more on multiplayer formats—but it’s a welcome move. If there's one thing to note about Jackbox games, it's their premium price tag, even on mobile. That's why a more accessible alternative is so exciting.

The rollout for Netflix's party games will be gradual, so check your platform to see if they're available. For those still waiting, it won’t be long before you can challenge your friends to a game of Pictionary on your next night in.

Prefer solo play? Netflix’s mobile catalog already has plenty to offer. But if you're searching for something fresh, take a look at our review of Set a Watch to see what this solo board game brings to the table.
