Netflix is adding two new video games to its subscription platform today: Before Your Eyes and Mahjong Solitaire. These are rolling out globally to all customers on iOS and Android devices — which is where all games on Netflix can be played — and mark just the latest additions to the growing catalog of video games on Netflix. Just last week, Netflix added Into the Breach to its service and is poised to add even more games in August 2022.
Notably, Before Your Eyes is a BAFTA-winning video game from developer GoodbyeWorld Games. It features a first-person viewpoint using actual blinks and glances from the player’s eyes captured with a phone in this case for moving the narrative forward. Mahjong Solitaire, on the other hand, appears to be a new version for Netflix of Microsoft’s Mahjong by developer Smoking Gun Interactive that features a number of tile-matching puzzles.
