Netflix is looking to grow its offering of mobile games by adding at a minimum of 80 games to their gaming service. The streamer plans to add a new title every month starting this month.

The expansion was announced during an earnings call on July 18 by Co-CEO and President & Director Gregory K. Peters, as spotted by Polygon.

"We’ve launched over 100 games so far. We’ve seen what works, what doesn’t work," Peters said during the call. "We’re refining our program to do more of what is working with the 80-plus games that we currently have in development.”

It sounds like these titles will be based on Netflix IPs like Selling Sunset and Emily in Paris. The new games were described as interactive narrative games which are being called Netflix Stories. 

As long as you're a subscriber, the games are available for free. 

Based on what's currently available, it looks the first "interactive story" game on the service is Too Hot To Handle 3 (based on the reality show of the same name). You can think of this one as a kind of dating sim/recreation of relationship building moments from the show.
