Netflix Gaming: Squid Games ‘game’ could be worth £280 million a month
As of this week, Netflix Gaming is available globally on Android and IOS.
But just how much revenue could their new platform be worth when they launch the game versions of Netflix’s all-time most watched shows?
Since the revenue of the global mobile gaming market last year was £57.68 billion – it’s no surprise that streaming giant Netflix wants a slice of the action.
Currently, members can play five mobile games, two of which are based on Stranger Things.
Tech experts Repair Outlet have calculated the true value of what the platform’s most beloved films and TV shows would be if they were released as games on the app market.
For example, a ‘Squid Games’ game could make Netflix Gaming over £280 million in revenue every month.

To reveal the potential revenue from Netflix Gaming’s future releases, Repair Outlet used the average revenue per player for the current top mobile games on the Android market, and then used Netflix’s monthly viewers per top title to calculate the potential value of a specialist game being released.
Comment from Tom Peet, Repair Outlet Manager:
“Netflix is an entertainment giant, and it was only a matter of time before they delved into other forms of tech-focused entertainment other than streaming.
The mobile gaming industry is predicted to be worth $272 billion by 2030, and with the rise of high-performance smartphones rivaling the gaming function of many handheld consoles, expanding into mobile gaming was a smart and predictable move for Netflix.
Since Netflix already has such a gigantic, loyal viewership, we wanted to see what the potential revenue would be for them when they inevitably release the gaming versions of their most-viewed titles – with Squid Games alone potentially bringing them in over £280 million in revenue.”

10-15% Of Gamers In Florida Show Signs Of Gaming Addiction: Here Are 10 Signs Your Kid Is Suffering From It (And How You Can Help)
Recent studies indicate that 10-15% of young gamers in Florida exhibit signs of gaming addiction. These findings underscore the need for early identification of symptoms to prevent negative impacts on children’s mental and physical health. Gaming addiction, if not dealt with, can lead to poor academic performance, social withdrawal, and even health problems.
Marin Cristian-Ovidiu, CEO of FreezeNova, discusses key indicators of gaming addiction and offers practical advice for parents.
Recognizing Early Signs
“Early recognition of gaming addiction is crucial in preventing long-term negative outcomes,” Marin explains. The following signs can help parents identify if their child might be developing an addiction:
Exhaustion and Irritability
Constant tiredness and grumpiness during the day could indicate late-night gaming sessions interfering with sleep.
Gaming Obsession
If gaming dominates your child’s thoughts and conversations, and they plan their day around it while neglecting other responsibilities, it could be a sign of addiction.
Decline in Academic Performance and Lost Interests
A noticeable decline in academic performance or loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities may suggest your child is prioritizing gaming over more important tasks.
Emotional Volatility
Extreme emotional reactions to in-game outcomes, such as uncontrolled anger, known as ‘Gamer Rage’, or intense celebrations, could indicate an unhealthy attachment to gaming.
Physical Strain
Signs of repetitive strain injuries like ‘Gamer’s Thumb’ or ‘Nintendo Neck’ from prolonged screen time are warning signals.
Neglecting Basic Needs
If your child is neglecting basic needs like eating, sleeping, or hygiene to keep playing, gaming has likely taken an unhealthy control over their life.
Creating a Supportive Environment
While video games can be a great source of entertainment and connection, around 70% of people with signs of gaming addiction also experience social disorders. Marin recommends a few tips for building a supportive and open environment for your child.
Teamwork and Setting Boundaries
“Parents and children should work together to create a healthy gaming environment. Gaming addiction requires a holistic approach,” Marin advises. Start by setting clear boundaries on gaming time to ensure there’s room for schoolwork, chores, and quality family time.
Revisit activities your child once loved, like football practice or exploring new hobbies together. It’s vital for your child to take breaks from screens, so create a balanced daily routine that includes homework, chores, exercise and just some gaming time. This allows your child to enjoy their games without neglecting other aspects of their life.
Open Communication
Maintain open communication. Discuss the games your child enjoys and any concerns you might have. By understanding their world, you can work together to find solutions.
Remember, you’re not alone. If you feel overwhelmed, seek professional help from specialists in gaming addiction. Marin concludes, “By working as a team, setting clear boundaries, and fostering open communication, we can help your child develop a healthy relationship with gaming and thrive in all areas of life.”
