Netflix is diving deeper into gaming with a new title tied to global football fever. The streaming giant announced that "FIFA World Cup: Launch Edition" will be released on June 11, available exclusively for Netflix subscribers on mobile devices. The game is developed in partnership with Electronic Arts, marking another step in Netflix's push to offer interactive content alongside its usual movies and TV shows.

The timing is no accident. With the real FIFA World Cup tournament approaching, both Netflix and EA are looking to capture the attention of football fans. The mobile game will let players control national teams and compete in a tournament mode, aiming to recreate the excitement of the actual event. Netflix has been quietly building its game library over the past few years, adding titles across different genres, but this is one of its highest-profile sports releases so far.

For EA, the partnership keeps the FIFA brand alive in mobile gaming even after the company ended its long-running naming deal with the sport's governing body. The game is expected to feature updated rosters and kits from the upcoming World Cup. Netflix has not announced any plans for a console or PC version, keeping the title locked to its mobile platform for now. Subscribers will find the game in the Netflix app starting June 11, with no additional purchase required.
