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

Author : Blake Jan 25,2025

Squid Game: Unleashed, the upcoming battle royale game based on the hit Korean drama, is now confirmed to be free-to-play for everyone, including non-Netflix subscribers! This exciting news, announced at the Big Geoff's Game Awards, significantly boosts the game's anticipated December 17th launch.

The decision, initially surprising given Netflix Games' relatively low profile, proves to be a shrewd move. It leverages the immense popularity of the Squid Game franchise (with season two on the horizon) to broaden the game's reach. Importantly, the free-to-play model remains ad-free and without in-app purchases.

Many men wish death upon me

Squid Game: Unleashed offers a chaotic, violent take on the battle royale genre, similar to titles like Fall Guys or Stumble Guys. Players navigate minigames inspired by the original show's deadly competitions, with survival as the ultimate objective. The winner takes all.

This strategic announcement, linking a major gaming release to the promotion of a flagship Netflix show, may even quell some past criticisms leveled at the Big Geoff's Game Awards for its broader media focus. For now, at least, the synergy is undeniable.
