It's becoming more and more common to see your favorite video game characters appear on the small screen. Over the past few years, we've seen various streaming platforms like Netflix, Max, and Peacock adapt popular video games to the medium.
What's especially great about this is that none of the recently released shows require knowledge of the entire series to understand. They often act as a bridge to help bring the two together in hopes of making the franchise even more popular. Even better, the majority of these shows are well-received by fans and newcomers alike.
Depending on the program you're watching, the content may be very different from the original, or it may be very close to the original. For example, Max's The Last of Us is a faithful retelling of the video game originally released in 2013. Even if some aspects of the story have been changed or fleshed out a bit more, it still follows the main plot points of the game. Meanwhile, shows like Amazon Prime Video's Fallout tell original stories that take place within a preset world that has already been established since 1997.
Here are 10 shows based on video games that you can stream on various streaming platforms.
