CDMX on October 17, 2023.- Netflix, the streaming giant that has dominated the small screens of millions of homes, is now looking to carve out a place for itself in the video game space. After launching mobile gaming in 2021, it announced in August this year that it would expand its reach to include “any device where people watch Netflix,” including TVs and PCs.
What to expect?
Over the summer, Netflix began a “limited beta test” in Canada and the UK, where a small number of members had the opportunity to play “No Oxen” and “Molehew’s Mining Adventure” from Night School Studio on select TVs already. Browsers on PC and Mac. To the surprise and excitement of many, the platform has begun rolling out this test in the United States, an encouraging step in its ambition to further diversify its offerings.
Adaptation technology
One of the most innovative features of this proposal is the ability of the game to adapt to different devices. In the case of TVs, players will be able to control games using their phones. While they use computers, they can use a keyboard and mouse.
Compatible devices
The world of devices compatible with these Netflix games is vast. Streaming media players include Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast with Google TV, LG TVs, Nvidia Shield TV, Roku devices and TVs, Samsung Smart TVs, and Walmart ONN. And that’s not all: Netflix promises to constantly add more devices.
This is a bold move for Netflix, a company that has already revolutionized the way we consume entertainment content. Only time will tell if he will be able to make the same impact in the world of video games.
