Netflix has added two new titles, Bowling Ballers and Asphalt Xtreme, to their mobile gaming catalog.
The company added the game to the platform in August with the introduction of two Stranger Things tie-ins. Three more games were released on Android in September, and on November 10, they were finally available on iOS.
Asphalt Xtreme
The first title is Asphalt Xtreme. TechCrunch reports that Netflix licensed the game from its original creator, Gameloft Studios, who pulled the game from the App Store on October 1 after years of leaving it without updates.
Asphalt Xtreme is a game that offers a classic racing experience with 4×4 trucks and is free to play. No ads or in-app purchases either. all you need to do to be able to play the game is to buy a Netflix membership package.
A trailer posted to the Netflix YouTube account suggests that the game has been rebooted and will become an off-road racing game. Later players can choose various vehicles and locations that look exotic and charming
Gamingphone reports that Asphalt Xtreme is still under development and will be rolling out gradually to users worldwide.
Asphalt Xtreme is a Gameloft title that has been quite popular for several years. It is the second spin-off in Gameloft’s Asphalt action racing game series.
The game lets players go off the beaten path to explore exotic places while controlling a variety of vehicles, including rally cars and monster trucks. Gameplay takes players across difficult elements such as water, rock, sand, mud and snow.
The game was developed from August 2022 to September 2022 but closed completely on September 30, 2022. As of October 1, 2022, the game is no longer available on the app store for download. Netflix then licensed the titles from Gameloft to add to its collection of mobile games.
Now, Asphalt game fans who don’t have access to Netflix will be disappointed, and it seems unlikely the game will be available outside of a Netflix membership.
Bowling Ballers
The second title is Bowling Ballers which is now available on the App Store and Google Play Store. It is a simple game described as an “endless runner” for bowling, which includes a level-based mode.
Like Asphalt Xtreme, Bowling Ballers is ad-free and doesn’t offer any in-app purchases as Netflix doesn’t plan to profit from the game directly.
