- Squid Game: Unleashed is out now on iOS and Android
- It’s the first time that Netflix has offered one of their games for free, for all players
- Duke it out in death games inspired by the show and beyond
As someone who grew up watching Korean dramas and playing mobile games, the release of Squid Game: Unleashed feels like a perfect storm of nostalgia and excitement. The fact that Netflix is offering this game for free to everyone, regardless of their subscription status, feels like a bold move that could potentially revolutionize the way we view gaming as a complement to popular media.
Just in time for the holiday season, Netflix has done something I once considered impossible – they’ve released a new offering that is free for everyone, whether you’re a subscriber or not. Notably, this free content revolves around a battle royale style game inspired by one of their most beloved series, titled “Squid Game: Unleashed.” You can start playing it right now on your iOS or Android device.
A popular Korean drama revolves around a band of unfortunate contestants who receive an opportunity from enigmatic patrons to engage in a sequence of life-threatening contests. These competitions are themed on typical playground activities for kids, with the ultimate reward being approximately $40 million in cold hard cash.
Squid Game: Unleashed is a less distressing version of its original, where you engage in combat with other contestants to determine who survives until the end. This may involve iconic scenes from the show like the Glass Bridge, Red Light Green Light, and Dalgona, as well as new challenges that are even more dangerous.
Squidding around
The choice to make Squid Game: Unleashed available for free to all players might be perceived as a sign of desperation, but I believe it’s more likely a clever strategy. Considering that the primary objective of Netflix Games is to create tie-in media for their library of shows and films, what could be a more effective method to re-engage Squid Game viewers or introduce it to new audiences than with an exhilarating multiplayer game?
One crucial aspect that any multiplayer game launch must tackle is maintaining an adequate number of players. Limiting Squid Game: Unleashed exclusively for subscribers could potentially leave non-subscribers feeling isolated. However, by implementing this change, they guarantee a more populated player base at minimum.
