Monster Hunter Rise is heading to mobile through Netflix Games, with official product pages now appearing for both Android and iOS. A live Google Play listing published by Netflix identifies the game as “MONSTER HUNTER RISE NETFLIX” and requires an active Netflix membership, while an Apple App Store version has also surfaced in supported regions. Neither Capcom nor Netflix has issued a broad announcement yet, so availability appears to be rolling out selectively rather than as a conventional global launch.
The Android listing confirms that the mobile version retains Monster Hunter Rise’s core action RPG structure, including solo play and online multiplayer for up to four hunters. Players will still hunt monsters from Kamura Village, collect materials, craft equipment and use Wirebugs to move around the game’s environments. Netflix says the game was created by Capcom and is included with a membership rather than sold separately.
The mobile edition also includes changes designed specifically for touchscreens. Netflix says the controls have been reconstructed for phones and tablets, with layouts adapted to different screen sizes and ratios and weapon-specific control schemes. A new Recovery Button can automatically select an appropriate healing or status-recovery item based on the hunter’s condition, reducing the amount of inventory management required during combat.
Some previously paid or time-limited Challenge and Event Quests are also being integrated differently into this version. According to the store description, those quests can be unlocked through normal progression instead of being distributed separately. Screenshots from the mobile listings show an on-screen virtual control layout built around touch input, though players will still need to wait for a full support breakdown to know exactly which external controllers are compatible.
At the moment, the listings appear to cover the base Monster Hunter Rise experience rather than the Sunbreak expansion. Neither the Google Play description nor current reporting mentions Sunbreak being bundled with the Netflix release. There is also no indication that cross-save or cross-play with existing PC, PlayStation, Xbox or Switch versions has been added.
That makes the mobile release a separate entry point rather than an extension of an existing save. Netflix’s general games documentation states that its mobile titles are tied to a user’s Netflix profile and may store progress either locally or through cloud saves, while saves from previously released versions do not automatically transfer into Netflix editions. Players also need an active Netflix membership and a compatible mobile device to access the game.
Monster Hunter Rise originally launched on Nintendo Switch in March 2021 before expanding to PC, PlayStation and Xbox platforms. The game became one of Capcom’s largest Monster Hunter releases outside of Monster Hunter: World, built around faster traversal, Wirebug movement and the addition of Palamutes. Its move to phones and tablets gives Netflix one of the highest-profile full-scale console and PC games yet in its mobile catalog.
The timing is also notable because Capcom is already expanding Monster Hunter aggressively on mobile. Monster Hunter Outlanders is launching globally on October 29 for iOS and Android, giving the franchise two separate mobile releases in the same month. Outlanders is a new free-to-play title developed with TiMi Studio Group, while the Netflix version of Rise brings an existing premium game to subscribers.
Netflix currently offers more than 100 mobile games as part of its subscription service, with no separate purchase price, ads or in-game purchases for included titles. Monster Hunter Rise fits the company’s strategy of adding recognizable console and PC releases alongside games based on Netflix properties. Its addition is particularly notable because Rise was designed from the outset around portable play on Nintendo Switch, making it a relatively natural candidate for adaptation to phones and tablets.
For now, the main uncertainty is availability. The Android listing is live and already shows early downloads, while iOS pages have also been spotted, but Netflix and Capcom have not published a global release schedule or region list. Until they do, Monster Hunter Rise on mobile should be treated as a limited or staged rollout rather than a confirmed worldwide launch.
