Netflix is adding five new games to its platform, including a title inspired by one of its best series that made the buzz during its release: The Queen’s Gambit.

With the increasing number of new competitors in the streaming market, Netflix is facing a threat. With this, the company has to come up with fresh content to offer. This week, it will be in the form of new game titles coming to its platform: OXENFREE II: Lost Signals on July 12, The Queen’s Gambit Chess on July 25, and Cut the Rope Daily on August 1. Two other titles to expect are LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed and Paper Trail, with their release dates to be announced soon.

These are just some of the 40 games the company plans to introduce to its platform this year. Currently, its partners are developing 70 titles, while its in-house game studios are handling the development of 16 games.
