Samsung is making significant strides in attracting Galaxy device owners to explore and download apps from its own Galaxy Store.

Exclusive Incentives for Netflix on Galaxy Store

Samsung has announced the arrival of Netflix along with an exclusive incentive - a special Samsung-only preview of the forthcoming Squid Game season 2.

This clip is only available on the Galaxy Store and expires on December 26, just before Squid Game season 2 premieres on Netflix. It's a great opportunity for Galaxy device owners to get a sneak peek.The Squid Game: Unleashed mobile game is also available in the Galaxy Store. Despite being a Netflix Game title, it can be accessed by everyone, regardless of whether they have a paid Netflix subscription. This is another high-profile addition to Netflix Games, following the release of Monument Valley 3. It shows Samsung's commitment to bringing more entertainment options to its users.
