How to Enable Subtitles in Netflix Mobile Game Unhinged

Netflix’s mobile game Unhinged supports subtitles, but they don’t come on automatically. Even though the title’s session length is on the shorter side, there’s still a fair amount of spoken dialogue—something that can get lost if you’re dealing with a loud thunderstorm outside or the game’s music competing for your attention. If you want clearer audio cues, you’ll have to flip a couple of switches before you begin.

Netflix subscribers can already access a variety of mobile games, and Unhinged is one more option to try while you’re subscribed. For players who prefer reading along, knowing how to enable captions is worth doing early so you don’t miss key lines.

How to Turn on Subtitles in Unhinged on Netflix

When you launch Unhinged on Netflix for the first time and connect your phone as a controller, the game typically jumps straight into play. In most games, you’d normally see a main menu first, letting you adjust settings like subtitles before starting. Here, though, the setup flow is different: a settings area exists, but it isn’t visible when the game begins the first time.

Quick facts

  • Subtitles exist in Unhinged on Netflix but start disabled by default.
  • You may need subtitles because dialogue can be hard to hear over outside noise or in-game music.
  • The Settings screen appears after restarting the game once from the Netflix dashboard.
  • In Settings, you can enable both Subtitles and Closed Captions under Accessibility.

To reach the menu where captions can be enabled, you’ll need to quit the game immediately after it starts. After backing out to the Netflix dashboard, launch Unhinged again. This second launch brings up a title screen with choices to either begin a New Game or open Settings.

Once you’re in Settings, head to Accessibility. From there, you can turn on Subtitles and Closed Captions, including on-screen support for various sound effects. After you save those options, start New Game, and subtitles should be active for your run through Unhinged on Netflix.
