Streaming services have become a modern cultural staple in that we build them into our monthly bills alongside rent and electricity. However, there are always loopholes to get out of paying full price for the long list of apps you need access to. For the ones for which you have yet to secure a shared password, these are the streaming deals to take advantage of.
Our top pick

Netflix Premium — get a year for free (save $240)
(opens in a new tab)
Why we like it
Netflix’s threat to crack down on password sharing is set to start ruining lives this spring. Verizon is offering a loophole in the form of a free year of Netflix Premium (the tier you’ll need for more than two simultaneous streams in different locations). The catch is that you’ll have to purchase another subscription, like Paramount+ or Super Duolingo, through +play, Verizon’s free subscription hub. It’s a total steal if you were planning to pay for one of those anyway. It’ll save you $240 over the year ($19.99/month).

Oxenfree II: Lost Signals will launch on Netflix and other platforms on July 12
Oxenfree II: Lost Signals, the follow-up to supernatural thriller Oxenfree, will launch on July 12 on Netflix, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Steam. The game was developed by Night School Studio, a gaming studio that Netflix acquired back in 2021. Night School Studio originally planned to launch Oxenfree II: Lost Signals in 2022 […]

Netflix will finally stop mailing people DVDs this year
‘Oxenfree II: Lost Signals’ will hit Switch, Netflix, Steam and PlayStation on July 12th
Nintendo’s latest Indie World showcase featured some news on the long-awaited sequel to Oxenfree. You’ll be able to check out Oxenfree II: Lost Signals in a few months, as it will arrive on Switch, PlayStation 4, PS5, Steam and on mobile via Netflix on July 12th.
Night School Studio announced the follow-up to its supernatural mystery title back in 2021 during a previous Indie World stream. Last year, after Netflix bought the studio, Night School it said was delaying Oxenfree II until 2023 in order to make the game “truly special.” A new trailer offers a closer look at the sequel, which sees a character called Riley returning to her gloomy hometown to delve into the mystery behind some unusual radio transmissions. As you explore, you can use a new walkie-talkie conversation system to stay in touch with local contacts.
As is often the case, the Indie World stream featured rapid-fire updates and announcements for a broad swathe of games, including Cult of the Lamb, one of Engadget’s favorite titles of 2022. A major free update for the deliciously cute mashup of dungeon crawler and management sim will land on April 24th.
Among other things, the Relics of the Old Faith update adds richer combat and a photo mode, while refreshing bosses and enemies. Those who’ve been waiting for a reason to come back may be pleased to learn there’ll be much more post-game content as well, including additional stories, revamped dungeons, a boss rush mode and a permadeath option.
Elsewhere, it emerged during the Indie World showcase that Rift of the NecroDancer, a Crypt of the NecroDancer spin-off, is coming to Switch later this year. It adds a Guitar Hero-style rhythm twist to lane-based combat — you’ll need to match onscreen prompts to fend off monsters.
This fall, you’ll be able to check out Quilts and Cats of Calico. This adaptation of the board game Calico sees you placing pieces on a board and adding buttons to earn points and attract cats. Each of the customizable cats has their own favorite quilt pattern. It all seems utterly adorable. The game supports local and online multiplayer and you’ll even be able to compete in ranked matches.

In addition, cooking and restaurant management sim PlateUp! will land in October and the enjoyable Escape Academy will hit Switch in the fall. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, a game that caught our eye during a previous showcase thanks to its Jet Set Radio vibes, will be available on Switch and Steam on August 18th.
Paper Trail, which requires you to fold parts of the world to solve puzzles, looks charming as heck. That one is coming to Switch in August. Meanwhile, Brotato, a Vampire Survivors-style game that’s been one of the most-played titles on Steam Deck in recent months, is getting a Switch port this year.
If you’re looking for something new to pass the time with on your Switch until Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom drops, you’re in luck. Nintendo revealed that Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach and puzzle platfomers Teslagrad Remastered and Teslagrad 2 will all be available on the eShop today, along with slapstick RPG Shadows Over Loathing. In case you missed the Indie World stream, you can catch up on the entire thing below:

Netflix to charge for password sharing in the U.S. as soon as this summer
Netflix Password Sharing Crackdown To Expand To US In Q2 2023
In Canada, paid sharing resulted in a larger Netflix membership base and an acceleration in revenue growth, which has given Netflix the confidence to expand it to the United States. When Netflix brings its paid sharing rules to the United States, multi-household account use will no longer be permitted. Netflix subscribers who share an account with those who do not live with them will need to pay for an additional member. In Canada, Netflix charges $7.99 CAD for an extra member, which is around $6. […] Netflix claims that more than 100 million households are sharing accounts, which is impacting its ability to “invest in and improve Netflix” for paying members.
