Netflix has already launched 40 titles since the start of its shift to video games, which includes Grand Theft Auto Trilogy — The Definitive Edition which is set to arrive on the platform today (December 14), as well as its first two internally developed games, including Night School’s Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals and Netflix Stories: Love is Blind.

The majority of these games haven't been announced just yet, but Netflix did share that four will be launching in 2024.
Those include Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit, the sequel to life sim Cozy Grove from the company's internal studio Spry Fox, along with FashionVerse, Game Dev Tycoon, and Sonic Mania Plus.
Also coming to Netflix is a Rebel Moon game based on Zack Snyder's upcoming movie Rebel Moon — Part One: A Child of Fire, which will be developed by Super Evil Megacorp.
There aren't many details to go by yet, but we know it will be a four-player co-op game and will take place after the events of A Child of Fire and Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver.
In addition, a game set in the universe of the popular South Korean series Squid Game has also been announced where users will «compete with other players in games from the hit series.»

Baldur's Gate 3 Writer Says Minthara Has No "Redemption Arc", Is Just Horrible
Minthara is definitely one of Baldur's Gate 3's spicier companions, and a firm fan favorite for those that enjoy a little bit of bloodshed in their RPGs. Back at launch, you couldn't actually recruit Minthara without slaughtering a bunch of Tieflings (or turning her into a sheep), and while a recent patch has allowed players to not have to make that choice anymore, it's still very clear that she isn't a particularly pleasant person.

'We would love to explore a new game mode,' says Remnant 2's creative director, which he'd like to 'scratch the same itch' as a wave-based survival gauntlet
Remnant 2's first DLC dropped a short while ago—and it's a pretty good romp. It adds a whole new area to explore, a new class, and some new gear to grab—it also enhances Losomn as a whole, since having the DLC lets its areas and bosses crop up during your randomised runs of the main campaign.

The law requires technology companies with 20 million unique monthly users and annual revenues of C$1 billion ($748 million) or more to compensate Canadian news outlets for publishing links to their pages.
