Netflix has always had a problem with its video game section: how to get people to play them. Making them difficult to access and not having an interesting own catalog might have something to do with it, but it doesn’t seem like it’s something that has crossed their minds. Quite the opposite, in fact. That’s why they have opted to do something that has an easier solution. More immediate. Reward you in their games for the fact of watching the series.

Squid Game, Better if It’s Both on Your Mobile and Your TV

Squid Game: Unleashed is the new Netflix game based on the successful South Korean series. Being a team-based battle royale, it is a simple but addictive game that closely follows what the series does by imitating its aesthetics and challenges. And to encourage people to play it, they have decided to integrate it with the second season of the series.

How? The more episodes you watch of the second season of Squid Game, the more rewards you’ll earn in the game. Since everything is on the same platform, you don’t even have to do anything special to achieve it. Just by playing the game and watching the series, for each episode you watch, you’ll receive a new reward in the game. This creates a synergy that Netflix hopes will boost the numbers for both the series and, especially, the game.

Additionally, the rewards are quite generous. Without watching the series, you will already earn 15,000 Cash. But as you progress in the second season of the series, you will earn more money, and even some exclusive outfits for those who are watching the series. In addition to tokens that are used to play in the roulette, which can unlock more objects and random rewards. Making it practically essential to watch the series if you want to play the game.

Now then, if you play Squid Game: Unleashed, how can you not watch the series? So if you ask us, this is a situation where you can only come out winning. Therefore, if the game catches your attention, you can download it on Android through Google Play and on iOS via the App Store.
