The BTD6 Netflix Edition is a special version of Bloons TD 6 released exclusively for Netflix subscribers. It’s a full standalone edition of the game that can be downloaded on iOS and Android at no extra cost—just like other Netflix Games. While it looks and plays almost the same as the original BTD6, there are several important differences you should know before choosing which version to play.
What Is BTD6 Netflix Edition?
BTD6 Netflix Edition is a subscription-included version of the game that removes:
- Upfront purchase cost
- In-app purchases (IAPs)
- Ads
- Microtransactions
It is essentially a premium, all-in version of BTD6 designed for mobile players who already pay for Netflix. The game can be played only as long as you have an active Netflix subscription.
How BTD6 Netflix Edition Differs from the Original Version
1. No In-App Purchases (Huge Difference)
The Netflix version includes no purchases at all:
- No Monkey Money purchases
- No Insta-Monkey bundles
- No Hero Skin purchases
- No Powers purchases
This makes the gameplay feel more balanced but also slower at the beginning since you cannot buy instant upgrades.
2. All Content Is Earned Through Gameplay
Since there are no microtransactions, everything in the game—heroes, skins, powers, and cosmetics—must be unlocked naturally through progression.
This can make the game feel:
- More rewarding
- More grind-based
- More balanced for free players
3. Requires a Netflix Subscription
You cannot play the game without:
- A Netflix subscription
- A Netflix profile signed in when launching the game
- Internet verification (periodically)
If your subscription expires, the game becomes inaccessible.
4. No PC Version for Netflix BTD6
The Netflix Edition is mobile-only:
- No Steam version
- No Epic Games version
- No console support
- No PC port
If you want BTD6 on PC, you must use the original paid version.
5. Different Save System (No Cross-Platform With Original BTD6)
Netflix BTD6 has independent save data, separate from:
- Steam
- Epic Games
- Mobile paid version
- Console versions
You cannot transfer progress between BTD6 and BTD6 Netflix Edition.
6. Updates Come Later Than the Main Game
While Netflix BTD6 receives major updates, they often arrive slightly delayed compared to the primary BTD6 release schedule. Not always, but often enough to be noticeable.
7. Some Skins and Premium Items Are Not Included
A few cosmetics from the original game that were originally tied to microtransactions may not appear in the Netflix Edition.
8. Gameplay Is Still the Same Core BTD6
Despite the differences, the actual gameplay is 100% Bloons TD 6:
- Same towers
- Same maps
- Same bosses
- Same paragon system
- Same events
- Same modes
So the experience is identical—just without any paid extras.
Which One Should You Play?
Choose BTD6 Netflix Edition if:
- You already pay for Netflix
- You want the fully unlocked, microtransaction-free version
- You don’t need the PC version
- You prefer a grind-based progression system
Choose the Original BTD6 if:
- You want to play on PC or console
- You want cross-platform syncing
- You want updates immediately
- You don’t want to depend on a Netflix subscription
Final Verdict
BTD6 Netflix Edition is a fantastic, cost-free option for mobile players who already subscribe to Netflix. It offers a clean, microtransaction-free experience, though it lacks cross-platform play and PC support.
