Netflix Launches Free Kids' Gaming App
6 Apr
Summary
- Netflix Playground offers free ad-free games for kids.
- The app works offline, perfect for travel.
- Games feature popular characters like Peppa Pig and Sesame Street.
Netflix has introduced Playground, a new gaming application specifically designed for children aged eight and under. This app is accessible to all Netflix subscribers, regardless of their plan tier, and importantly, it contains no advertisements or in-app purchases.
A key feature of Netflix Playground is its offline functionality, allowing children to play games without an active internet or Wi-Fi connection. This makes it a convenient option for entertainment during travel, such as long flights or car rides.
The platform debuts with a variety of games based on well-known franchises. These include Playtime with Peppa Pig, featuring minigames with the beloved character, and a Sesame Street game where children can interact with Elmo and other characters. Additional titles based on Dr. Seuss properties and the show Bad Dinosaurs are also available, alongside sticker books and jigsaw puzzles.
Netflix Playground is currently available in the US and many other regions, with a global rollout scheduled for April 28. This launch comes as Netflix's broader interactive gaming division has faced recent challenges.
