Squid Game: Unleashed is free to play, for everyone, including non-Netflix members

by Mila Jan 05,2025

Netflix's Squid Game: Unleashed is a free-to-play battle royale game, available to everyone, regardless of Netflix subscription status! This exciting news, announced at the Big Geoff's Game Awards, marks a significant step for Netflix Games, expanding its reach and leveraging the popularity of the hit Korean drama.

The game, launching December 17th, offers a thrilling, and arguably more violent, take on titles like Fall Guys and Stumble Guys. Players compete in minigames inspired by the show, with survival as the ultimate goal. The surprising decision to make the game free-to-play for all, without ads or in-app purchases, is a clever move likely to significantly boost the game's popularity, particularly with the upcoming second season of the Squid Game series.

This announcement cleverly intertwines the promotion of Squid Game season two with a major gaming release, potentially addressing past criticisms of the Big Geoff's Game Awards' broader media focus. The strategic move highlights Netflix's evolution from DVD distributor to a major player in both entertainment and gaming.
