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

Netflix's Squid Game: Unleashed is a free-for-all battle royale, available to everyone – subscribers and non-subscribers alike! This surprising announcement, made at the Big Geoff's Game Awards, is a clever move by Netflix to boost the game's launch on December 17th.

The game, a more intense version of titles like Stumble Guys or Fall Guys, features minigames inspired by the hit Korean drama. Players compete in a deadly tournament, with the last survivor winning a massive prize. Notably, Squid Game: Unleashed remains ad-free and free of in-app purchases.

This strategic move by Netflix highlights the potential synergy between their streaming service and their gaming platform. The free-to-play model, coupled with the upcoming second season of the show, positions Squid Game: Unleashed for significant success. The announcement itself also serves to address past criticisms of the Big Geoff's Game Awards, showcasing a successful blend of gaming and broader media promotion.
