Squid Game (Netflix): the mobile game of the series free for all, but for a limited time

Expected on December 17 on iOS and Android, the mobile game derived from the hit South Korean series will, and this is a first, be accessible for free whether or not you have a subscription to the streaming service.

Netflix wants you to play his new video game, and thus wants to make you fall (again) into Squid Gameseason 2 of which is expected on December 26.

Temporary free

Let's not kid ourselves: the streaming giant wants, ultimatelythat you subscribe. In any case, this is how we analyze his latest decision, rather than through overflowing Christmas generosity.

Unsurprisingly, in order to transform free players into subscribers who have become potentially addicted to the game, this generosity will therefore have a deadline. The date on which Squid Game: Unleashed will ultimately be hidden behind the obligation to have a Netflix subscription is however not yet known.

For those in a hurry, it is still possible to pre-register on the Play Store and the App Store.

Concerning the game itself, unsurprisingly it is a multiplayer action game taking up the concept and challenges of the series.

Netflix presents it like this: Get ready for fast-paced action and brutal competition in this multiplayer battle royale game. Play online with your friends (or enemies) and try to survive to the end and defeat your opponents in tricky tournaments. With deadly challenges that will remind you of the “Squid Game” series and new games inspired by classic children's activities, each round is a sinister return to childhood. Will you come out of this recreation alive?
