Netflix is typically what one would associate with streaming films and TV only, but as it turns out, the streaming service seems to be a jack-of-all-trades, quietly building up a mobile game library with decent titles.

With a number of mobile-only releases alongside adaptations of TV series and console games, there's something for all of its subscribers here.

Here are 7 great mobile titles on Netflix guaranteed to give you a great time on the small screen:

Red Dead Redemption

Rockstar Games's most famous Western open-world tale of former outlaw, John Marston, and his desire to bury his dark past, is one of the latest console classics to be released for the small screen.

Asphalt Xtreme

Gameloft takes things offroad with 'Asphalt Xtreme', an extreme version of the 'Asphalt' games centred around more than 30 offroad cars, five game modes, over 300 career events, and more than a thousand mastery challenges.

Street Fighter 4: Champion Edition

One of the world's most famous arcade fighter games is on Netflix—optimised for the small screen, but still alive and kicking.

The grandfather of 'Tekken' and 'Mortal Kombat' still offers you 32 characters, including a number of new ones, in your quest to victory.

Sonic Mania Plus

Charge through vibrant pixelated worlds at top speed with everyone's beloved blue hedgehog Sonic, fly with his friend Tails, or pummel obstacles with Knuckles in this sweet homage to the 90s. May the gold be with you!

GTA: San Andreas - The Definitive Edition

This retro gem from Rockstar Games returned from the PS2 (and PSP) era to Netflix, just like Carl "CJ" Johnson to Los Santos.

This 90s West Coast adventure also comes with a slew of gameplay enhancements, such as including better lighting, higher-res textures, more refined, GTA 5-style controls and much more.

Tomb Raider Reloaded

Lara Croft is back in this Clash of Clans-like fast-paced action-adventure spin-off of the legendary franchise.

Sleek, fun, and packed with bosses, enemies, and booby traps of all kinds, this is mobile gaming's way of bringing you the magic of being Lara Croft for the small screen.

Stranger Things 3: The Game

While you wait for the finale of 'Stranger Things' season five, why not give this companion game a try?

Cooperation comes first again, as you fight your way through a pixelated Hawkins with 12 characters you can team up with, or the option to go solo, if you dare.
