The WWE landed on Netflix on Jan. 6, and soon Netflix subscribers will be able to throw their own flying elbows, clotheslines and even the occasional Stone Cold stunner. Netflix announced Thursday that it will be bringing the WWE 2K video games to mobile devices this fall exclusively on Netflix Games.
Netflix is virtually synonymous with streaming movies and TV shows, such as Black Mirror and Stranger Things, but your subscription also gives you access to mobile games you can play on your iOS or Android device. If you subscribe to Netflix (which starts at $7 a month), you can play these games and many more without ads or in-app purchases at no additional charge.

Netflix also announced that it’s transforming its series Ginny & Georgia and Sweet Magnolias into games in the Netflix Stories series.
Netflix Stories games take popular shows on the streaming platform, like Too Hot to Handle, and put you in the middle of the action. These games are based on popular reality series as well as other well-known shows on the platform, like Emily in Paris.
The streamer also said it plans to expand some of its other popular Netflix Stories entries. The company said the games for both Love is Blind and Outer Banks will each get new original stories later this year.
The addition of the WWE 2K games will bring more major games to mobile through Netflix Games. The company launched Squid Game: Unleashed, based on the popular show of the same name, in December, and it added three entries from the Grand Theft Auto series to its mobile games library in 2023.
