Squid Game: Unleashed, the upcoming battle royale game based on the hit Korean drama, is officially free-to-play for everyone! This exciting news, announced at the Big Geoff's Game Awards, confirms that both Netflix subscribers and non-subscribers can jump into the action.
Initially slated as a free-to-play title for Netflix members only, the decision to open it up to all players is a smart move that's likely to significantly boost the game's popularity upon its December 17th release. The best part? It remains entirely ad-free and free of in-app purchases.
This strategic move highlights Netflix's evolution from a DVD delivery service to a major player in the entertainment industry, cleverly leveraging its gaming platform to promote its shows, especially with Squid Game season two on the horizon.
The game itself is a fast-paced, violent take on titles like Fall Guys or Stumble Guys. Players navigate minigames inspired by the deadly challenges from the original series, competing to be the last one standing and claim the grand prize.
The announcement at Big Geoff's Game Awards, an event sometimes criticized for its broader media focus, successfully showcases Netflix's ability to synergistically market its shows and games, potentially silencing some of the previous criticisms.
