Capcom’s Monster Hunter Rise appears to be coming to mobile through Netflix

Capcom’s Monster Hunter Rise seems to be heading to iOS and Android as a Netflix game.

As spotted by Eurogamer, the listings appeared on Google Play and the App Store on October 7. The game has also popped up on AppMagic, where it was “first detected” on the same date.

The game is free to download but requires a Netflix membership to play. Netflix is listed as the publisher, with Capcom credited as the creator. As yet, no release date has been provided.

Monster Hunter Rise launched on Nintendo Switch in 2021 and later came to PC, Xbox and PlayStation. The mobile version differs in three ways, starting with Challenge and Event Quests – though previously sold as paid or temporary downloadable content, these are now unlocked through progression.

There is also a Recovery Button that automatically picks the best item to use in a fight, based on the hunter’s health and status. Touch controls have been rebuilt for phones and tablets, including each weapon’s control scheme.

The listings appeared within hours of Capcom revealing that Monster Hunter Rise has collectively sold over 20m copies worldwide.

Separately, Tencent and Capcom’s open-world survival game Monster Hunter Outlanders launches on mobile on October 29.

In August, Netflix said it would close Night School in Los Angeles and Moonloot in Helsinki, and cut staff elsewhere in its internal games teams. The cuts followed mass layoffs at Refactor, developer of Netflix’s exclusive FIFA World Cup tie-in game, where reports suggest up to 85% of staff lost their jobs.

At GDC 2025, new Netflix games boss Tascan said that after his predecessor Verdu built out a catalogue of mobile games that catered to all tastes, the streamer would be more focused on party games, kids titles and big-name IP in future.
