In recent years Netflix has been pushing into the video games industry. Starting with pretty small titles, the streaming giant has slowly but surely been bringing an increasing number of big-named games to the service via mobile. The latest title to join Netflix’s gaming library is the excellent Sonic Mania Plus – available now on both Android and iOS.

Making the announcement on Twitter, Netflix revealed that “Sonic Mania Plus is now on Netflix Games! Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles await. Download and play now on mobile.”

First released back in 2017, Sonic Mania Plus is a throwback to the Sonic games of old, existing both as a nostalgic trip for the Sega Mega Drive trilogy while also introducing its own unique levels and mechanics – making for one of the best 2D Sonic experiences possibly ever.

Sonic Mania Plus joins the line-up of almost 100 games available to Netflix subscribers across both iOS and Android – including the likes of the GTA trilogy; Death’s Door; Dead Cells; World of Goo Remastered; TMNT Shredder’s Revenge and the universally praised Hades (though the latter is only on iOS).

If nothing else, it is exciting to see Netflix funding the porting of a bunch of console titles to mobile devices. Hopefully the initiative continues.
