Monument Valley 3 Arrives Exclusively on Netflix Games

Monument Valley 3, the highly anticipated third installment in the acclaimed indie puzzle game series, has officially launched exclusively on Netflix Games. This Netflix exclusive offers players a new journey through stunning visuals and innovative puzzles.

A New Approach to Content

Developer Ustwo, in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz, discussed their decision to incorporate live-service elements into Monument Valley 3. Unlike previous games with sporadic DLC releases, Monument Valley 3 will receive new content, activities, and puzzles with each real-life season, creating a more consistent and engaging experience for players. Director Jennifer Estaris explained this shift as a way to foster a stronger connection with players and build anticipation for regular updates.

Ustwo’s Mobile Expertise

Ustwo, experienced in developing for mobile platforms (having previously released Assemble with Care and Desta: The Memories Between on Netflix and Apple Arcade), feels this platform perfectly suits Monument Valley 3. Lead producer Jonathan Lau emphasized that a subscription model, such as Netflix’s, was crucial to the game’s vision, as a free-to-play model would have compromised the game’s core experience.

Early Reception and Future Possibilities

Currently, Monument Valley 3 holds an average score of around 70 on Metacritic. Both previous Monument Valley games are also available on Netflix, and given their later PC releases, there’s potential for a PC version of Monument Valley 3 down the line, although it remains a Netflix exclusive for now.
