Crunchyroll is now adding support for mobile games with the launch of its new feature, the 'Crunchyroll Game Vault.' The Crunchyroll Game Vault is available to subscribers of the Mega Fan and Ultimate Fan tiers of Crunchyroll, the service's premium offerings. At its launch, the Game Vault will offer five titles, which are Captain Velvet: The Jump+ Dimensions, River City Girls, Wolfstride, Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery, and Inbento.
What sets this gaming service apart is its unique approach. Similar to Netflix and Apple Arcade, all the games in the Crunchyroll Game Vault are completely free and do not contain any in-app purchases. This ensures that consumers can enjoy the company's vast selection of games for no additional cost.
