Netflix launched the seventh season of Black Mirror on Thursday, and alongside it the streaming giant released a mobile game called Thronglets, a tie-in game for the episode Plaything. Thronglets is different from other Netflix tie-in games, like Too Hot to Handle. Thronglets is a game within the Black Mirror universe that's central to the plot of Plaything, not just a game based on Black Mirror. By letting people play the game that characters in the series play, Netflix has opened up a new ave

Black Mirror‘s new season is here, bringing six tales of tech-based terror, tyranny, and emotional damage to Netflix. While all the episodes feature scenarios you can imagine actually happening—but aren’t quite achievable in 2025—a key piece of one is actually making its way into reality. And it’s one of the cutest yet also scariest: the Thronglets video game from the Peter Capaldi-starring “Plaything.” “Plaything” winds itself around a murder mystery that’s not really a mystery; the only suspe

Along with a new season of Black Mirror, Netflix might have just released its most interesting licensed game today.

The release of Black Mirror: Bandersnatch in 2018 was Netflix's first step into interactive films -- which some people consider video games. The streaming service then pushed into gaming in 2021, and since then it's turned some of its most popular series, like Squid Game, into mobile games.

Netflix has released a game called Thronglets based on episode seven of the latest season of Black Mirror. It's like a game of Tamagotchi and Pokémon, with dark, existential themes like what you'd expect from a tie up for the series would be. Thronglets was developed by Night School, the same studio behind Oxenfree that Netflix had acquired in 2021. "Our explorations in narrative gameplay and Netflix’s track record of supporting diverse storytellers was such a natural pairing," said Sean Krankel
