Top Games Fit for a Netflix Adaptation

Netflix is making a serious push into video games, and by most accounts, it's a success. This move caters to both console and mobile players.

Hits like Arcane and The Witcher prove audiences crave richer narratives beyond gameplay and cutscenes, a lesson Netflix has clearly learned. Yet, so many iconic game worlds are still waiting for their moment in the streaming spotlight.

We partnered with our friends at Eneba to pick five video games that absolutely deserve their own Netflix series. Here are our picks.

Red Dead Redemption

Red Dead Redemption is a prime candidate for a gritty, cinematic adaptation. Picture a series merging the emotional depth of The Last of Us with the raw, frontier justice of Yellowstone. Its story is packed with betrayal, fractured loyalties, moral gray areas, and bounty hunters, all set against breathtaking vistas.

This is prestige drama in the making. Arthur Morgan's story deserves to reach beyond the screen.

BioShock

A BioShock Netflix series could redefine psychological thrillers. The haunting undersea city of Rapture, its corrupted philosophy, and the terrifying presence of Big Daddies offer more than enough for a gripping limited series.

Fans have speculated about this for over a decade. Such a show would be a stunning, art-deco descent into madness—and might just make you question your own choices. Speaking of streaming, you can easily grab a Netflix gift card from Eneba to ensure you're ready when these hits arrive.

God of War

While God of War is slated for Amazon, its epic scale and emotional weight feel perfect for Netflix. A series could fully explore Kratos' journey from a god of vengeance to a grieving father learning compassion through his son.

Hades

With its vibrant art, witty writing, and compelling story loops, Hades already plays like a binge-worthy animated show. Zagreus's repeated attempts to escape the Underworld to unravel family secrets are perfect for a fast-paced, stylized series.

Imagine the style of Castlevania meeting the sharp character drama of BoJack Horseman, all set in a mythic Greek realm.

Ghost of Tsushima

It would be a major surprise if Ghost of Tsushima never becomes a Netflix series. Its tale is pure prestige drama, inspired by Kurosawa and filled with themes of honor, sacrifice, and stunning visual storytelling set during the Mongol invasion.
