Netflix has added a modern twist to the iconic Windows game Minesweeper, bringing the classic puzzle game to its mobile gaming platform. The Netflix version of Minesweeper features an international setting, with players tasked with locating underwater mines by overlaying the traditional interface of numbers and flags onto vibrant images of waterways from around the world.
While the visual style is a departure from the original game, the Netflix adaptation offers a distinct advantage – no in-game ads, extra fees, or in-app purchases. This sets it apart from many mobile Minesweeper games that often rely on ads or require purchases to remove them.
The reimagined Minesweeper joins a growing collection of titles on Netflix’s gaming platform, which includes a diverse range of games such as Hearts, Solitaire, indie hits like Hades, and popular franchises like Grand Theft Auto. Additionally, Netflix has developed games that tie into its own programming, demonstrating the company’s commitment to expanding its gaming offerings.
By bringing a classic game like Minesweeper to its platform with a fresh take and no monetization barriers, Netflix is making the game accessible to a new generation of players while also providing a nostalgic experience for those who grew up with the original version on Windows.
