Last autumn, Netflix hinted at its interest in expanding into cloud gaming. Recently, the streaming giant took a significant step forward by introducing a new app known as the “Netflix Game Controller.” This app enables subscribers to soon enjoy playing games on their television screens. The concept is quite innovative: users can utilize their smartphones as game controllers after connecting them to their TVs, providing a novel gaming experience.
The app’s presence is already noticeable on the App Store, although there hasn’t been any official announcement about the specific games that will be available for this platform or the anticipated release date. The app’s description merely offers a teaser by stating, “Coming soon to Netflix.”
Curiously, when questioned about this new development, Netflix chose to stay sush. The company did not elaborate on its plans or the timeline for rolling out this gaming feature.
Interestingly, Netflix is taking a unique approach by integrating free games into its existing streaming subscription model. This move aims to provide subscribers with an expanded entertainment palette.
Netflix disclosed its plans to release a substantial number of games. By the end of this year, the company aims to launch a total of 40 games.
As of now, the Netflix Gaming Controller app is exclusively available for iOS users. Let’s wait to see when this app arrives on Play Store and you can use it to play games on your TV.
