Netflix released its July slate of mobile games yesterday, adding a range of new titles. One game, in particular, called “Before Your Eyes,” uses eye-tracking technology that progresses the story every time the camera detects that you’re blinking. Netflix launched “Mahjong Solitaire” on July 26 as well.

“Into the Breach” is also a part of the slate for this month. The mobile version–which is exclusive to the streamer–has been available on the Netflix app since July 19.

“Into the Breach” is a tactical strategy game that challenges players to assemble a squad of pilots and mechs and participate in turn-based battles against an alien enemy.

Recently, “Into the Breach” had an Advanced Edition update on PC, Switch, and Stadia. Along with five new squads, 15 achievements, almost 40 new weapons, a dozen missions, and more, the new Advanced Edition also gives users seven new languages– Arabic, Thai, Swedish, Korean, Traditional Chinese, Turkish, and Spanish (Latin America). Netflix informed TechCrunch that the mobile version contains the same content.

“Before Your Eyes” is a critically acclaimed adventure title that initially launched in 2021 on Microsoft Windows. The game tells the story of Benjamin Brynn, a recently deceased man who encounters The Ferryman who is tasked with transporting souls to the afterlife.

Netflix delivers the game’s exclusive mobile debut, allowing players to
