Netflix is expanding its game catalog with a fresh lineup of titles set to release throughout May. Among the most notable additions are Sega’s classic Sonic Mania Plus and Askiisoft’s action-packed Katana Zero. Sonic Mania Plus, a cherished 2D Sonic experience crafted by former fan-game developers, seamlessly blends the nostalgia of Sonic’s Genesis roots with modern platforming elements. It has graced PC and consoles for some time, but Netflix now offers a convenient way to play it natively on mobile devices, starting today, May 7.
Another highly recommended title gracing Netflix this month is Katana Zero. This captivating 16-bit action game boasts a thrilling storyline and brutal combat. Its gameplay mechanics echo Hotline Miami, emphasizing strategic level navigation and eliminating enemies with precision. As a personal favorite among indie game enthusiasts, the arrival of Katana Zero on mobile is a welcome addition.
Netflix’s May game lineup also includes three other titles. Braid: Anniversary Edition, a remastered version of the influential 2000s indie game, debuts on mobile with an exclusive level on May 14. Paper Trail, a novel puzzle game, joins the catalog on May 21. Lastly, Netflix Stories: Virgin River, a dress-up and romance game inspired by the popular TV series, will be released on May 29. All five games are accessible to Netflix subscribers at no additional cost.
