The game, which originally launched in 2020, bundles together both mainline Overcooked titles, all their DLC packs, seasonal content, and a prequel campaign—over 200 levels in total. Players race against the clock to chop, fry, and serve meals across increasingly absurd kitchens set on pirate ships, space stations, and even ice floes. It's frantic, it's loud, and it will absolutely test your relationship with whoever's sharing the couch. Netflix's version throws in 10 exclusive playable charactersWhat makes the Netflix edition stand out is the roster. You get Dustin, Eleven, Lucas, and the Demogorgon from Stranger Things, plus six characters from KPop Demon Hunters—Mira, Rumi, Zoey, Jinu, Derpy, and Sussie. So yes, you can now have a Demogorgon plate up sushi. That's where we are.

Like Netflix's other streaming titles—Lego Party, Tetris Time Warp—the game runs on your TV and uses your phone as a controller. Just scan a QR code and you're in. No console, no gamepad, no extra hardware needed. Overcooked fits into Netflix's bigger push under new games chief Alan TascanThe addition lines up with Netflix's revamped gaming strategy under Alan Tascan, a former Epic Games executive who took over as President of Games in 2024. Since then, the company has scaled back its mobile game ambitions—cancelling several titles and reportedly shutting down its AAA studio—while leaning harder into cloud-based party games. Separately, A24 is reportedly developing an Overcooked game show for the platform, which feels almost inevitable given how unhinged the kitchens already are.
