Crunchyroll Game Vault adds ad-free mobile games to the anime streaming platform
Mega and Ultimate Fan members have access to a growing library
Anime streaming platform Crunchyroll has announced that it’s now making mobile games available as part of its premium subscriptions.
The new service, which is called Crunchyroll Game Vault, is available to anyone subscribed to its Mega Fan or Ultimate Fan subscription tiers.
The Game Vault is available now on Android, and will be coming to iOS “very soon”, according to Crunchyroll. It’s also available in more than “200 countries”.
Much like Netflix‘s mobile game library, all the games available on the Crunchyroll Game Vault will have no ads and no in-app purchases.
At launch, there are five games available in the Crunchyroll Game Vault:
- Captain Velvet Meteor: The Jump+ Dimensions
- River City Girls
- Wolfstride
- Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery
- Inbento
Crunchyroll is available in a selection of tiers, both paid and free. The free option gives users ad-supported access to its anime library, with new simulcast episodes added a week after they air in Japan.
The Fan tier costs $7.99 / £4.99 a month and removes the ads, with simulcast episodes arriving the same day they air in Japan. It also gives users access to Crunchyroll’s digital manga library.
The Mega Fan tier costs $9.99 / £5.99 a month and offers everything from the Fan tier, plus offline viewing, access to four concurrent streams and now access to the Crunchyroll Game Vault.
Finally, the Ultimate Fan Tier, which is US-only, costs $14.99 a month and adds an annual swag bag and member-only access to an exclusive merchandise store.
