The source didn’t state whether the Shin Megami Tensei title planned for release on Netflix’s game platform will be an new release or a port of an existing entry. The most recent entry in the series, Shin Megami Tensei V, is a role-playing game released in 2021 for the Nintendo Switch.

This isn’t the first we’ve heard of Netflix pursuing mainstream titles for its game platform. In November 2023, Netflix announced the release of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition for Android and iOS on December 14 through the App Store and Google Play. The game was made available for both Netflix subscribers and individual purchase. The mobile ports, developed by Video Games Deluxe, addressed additional bugs and introduced a lighting option to match the original games.
This compilation includes three action-adventure games from the Grand Theft Auto series: Grand Theft Auto III (2001), Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002), and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (2004). Developed by Grove Street Games and published by Rockstar Games, all three games underwent remastering with visual enhancements and gameplay upgrades. Each game features distinct protagonists and locations within the same continuity.
