Adam Sandler fans should keep their clubs — er, remotes, out when they finish watching “Happy Gilmore 2″ on Netflix, so they can easily switch over to play the streamer’s new tie-in video game, “Happy Gilmore: Golf Mayhem ’98 Demo.”
Available now on Netflix via TVs and desktop, the Easter Egg video game is titled “Happy Gilmore: Golf Mayhem ’98 Demo” and, like the streamer’s other video game offerings, is free for all Netflix subscribers.
Per Netflix’s description for “Happy Gilmore: Golf Mayhem ’98 Demo,” “When you watch the film, there’s an opening montage of Happy’s last 30 years, including him becoming a video game star – and we made that into a playable demo. It’s a short, retro game experience where you can golf, fight familiar foes ‘Mortal Kombat’-style, and cause chaos around the golf course in full-on 90s era gaming vibes.”
Developed by Amber, the video game’s launch on Netflix comes on the heels of the streaming service partnering with Spotify for a different interactive “Happy Gilmore” experience: the “Happy Gilmore 2 Tournament.” Available via the music streaming platform’s app, the collab “lets users swing through film-inspired golf challenges, complete with iconic easter eggs, audio clips, and a personalized playlist of ‘Happy’ tracks to soundtrack their next round and celebrate the film’s upcoming release.”
Netflix has been slowly building out its video game offering (mostly mobile titles, but more and and more that can be played on web and the TV, like “Happy Gilmore” golf demo) over the past three years and now has more than 100 titles on offer. The streamer is increasingly focused on tie-in games based on its own IP, including “Squid Game: Unleashed,” “Black Mirror: Thronglets” and “Blood Line: A Rebel Moon Game,” and has been cutting down on its acquired indie titles.
