Netflix has a new thing for video games, and you could argue it’s working. For both console and mobile gamers.
With hits like Arcane and The Witcher showing we crave more than just boss fights and cutscenes, the streaming giant is clearly taking notes. But there are still countless iconic titles that deserve their own spotlight on the platform.
So we’ve teamed up with our friends at Eneba to discuss which five games need to become a Netflix series. Right now.
Red Dead Redemption
Red Dead Redemption is practically begging for a gritty, high-budget adaptation. Imagine a Netflix series that blends the emotional weight of The Last of Us with the dusty outlaw vibes of Yellowstone. You’ve got betrayal, broken brotherhoods, bounty hunters, and moral dilemmas wrapped in a cinematic landscape.
This is prestige television waiting to happen. And Arthur Morgan deserves to be more than just a digital cowboy.
BioShock
A Netflix adaptation of BioShock would make Black Mirror look like child’s play. Between the eerie underwater setting of Rapture, the twisted moral philosophy, and the iconic Big Daddies, there’s more than enough narrative fuel to build a jaw-dropping, mind-bending limited series.
In fact, fans have been dreaming about this for years. A show like this would be a surreal, art-deco nightmare in the best way. It might even make you rethink how much power you give your Netflix algorithm. Speaking of which, don’t forget you can buy a cheap Netflix gift card easily and stay binge-ready for when the good stuff drops.
God of War
Yes, God of War is already heading to Amazon, but we’re still including it here because it deserves that Netflix level of emotional depth and visual intensity. A long-form series could really explore Kratos’ complex evolution from a vengeance-fueled war machine to a grieving father trying to do right by his son.
Hades
Hades already feels like an animated Netflix series thanks to its gorgeous art, razor-sharp dialogue, and addictive storytelling loops. Zagreus, the rebellious son of Hades, fights through the underworld not just to escape, but to uncover the truth behind his family. That’s ripe material for a fast-paced, stylized show.
Think Castlevania meets BoJack Horseman, but with Greek gods, witty banter, and a whole lot of flames.
Ghost of Tsushima
If Ghost of Tsushima doesn’t become a Netflix series at some point we’d be massively surprised. This is Kurosawa-inspired storytelling already wrapped in prestige drama. There’s honor, betrayal, beautiful cinematography, and internal conflict. All set against the backdrop of the Mongol invasion of Japan.
