Netflix's Squid Game: Unleashed is a free-for-all battle royale, available to everyone – Netflix subscribers and non-subscribers alike! This surprising announcement, made at the Big Geoff's Game Awards, is a clever move that's sure to boost the game's popularity ahead of its December 17th launch.
The decision to make the game free-to-play for all, without ads or in-app purchases, is a smart strategy by Netflix. It leverages their popular Squid Game series (with season two on the horizon) to expand their gaming service's reach. While Netflix Games is a great service, it hasn't achieved widespread recognition; this move aims to change that.
Many men wish death upon me
Squid Game: Unleashed is a chaotic, violent take on games like Fall Guys or Stumble Guys. Players compete in minigames inspired by the brutal Korean drama, battling for survival and a massive cash prize. The last player standing wins. Simple.
This announcement at the Big Geoff's Game Awards, an event sometimes criticized for its broad media focus, cleverly intertwines the promotion of Squid Game season two with a significant gaming launch. This strategic move might just silence some of the previous criticisms, at least for now.
