Netflix's Squid Game: Unleashed is now available for free on iOS and Android! This marks the first time Netflix has offered a game at no cost to all players, subscribers and non-subscribers alike. The battle royale game is inspired by the hit show, featuring familiar death games and thrilling new challenges.
The wildly popular Korean drama follows contestants competing in deadly children's games for a massive cash prize. While Squid Game: Unleashed is less intense than the show, it still delivers fast-paced competition with iconic scenarios like the Glass Bridge, Red Light Green Light, and Dalgona, alongside brand-new challenges.
A Smart Move by Netflix?
Netflix's decision to offer the game for free is a clever strategy. It effectively promotes the Squid Game series, introducing it to new audiences or re-engaging existing fans. A free-to-play model also guarantees a larger player base, overcoming the common hurdle of low player counts in multiplayer games.
