Diablo on Netflix and The State of Video Game Adaptations in 2026
While Diablo is the latest game to officially get an adaptation on Netflix, this is no longer a novelty. Netflix alone has adaptations of Devil May Cry, Tomb Raider, League of Legends, Cyberpunk 2077, and Sonic the Hedgehog.
Other streaming platforms have adaptations in the works for Tomb Raider, Far Cry, God of War, Life Is Strange, and more. Elsewhere, classic games are being turned into movies, including The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros., and Minecraft.
Netflix is also venturing into game development. Recently, it closed two game studios, but it remains committed to becoming a leading source of interactive storytelling.
Additionally, Netflix made history by streaming the first official extended preview of Grand Theft Auto 6. The event led to thousands of new sign-ups.
