Do you remember that Netflix <\/strong>also has games in its catalog? Well, this week, the streaming company has decided to take it a step further. Starting this Monday, certain Netflix users in the United Kingdom and Canada will be able to play streaming games on their TVs or PCs<\/strong>, either using their app or accessing the website.<\/p>\n\n\n

Mike Verdu<\/strong>, Netflix’s Vice President of Games, states in a company blog post<\/a> that this initiative is a “limited beta test”<\/strong> for a “small number of members,” which slightly pushes back the official launch of the feature, likely requiring a few more months of waiting<\/strong> (assuming all goes well).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Netflix has had games in its catalog since 2021 (a completely free feature<\/strong> for subscribers), up until now, they could only be played on mobile devices<\/strong>, whether on iOS or Android. With this new test, the titles from Netflix’s game library could also be played on computers and TVs, a development that would significantly expand their usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, those fortunate enough to test this feature will only be able to play two titles in the cloud for now<\/strong>. On one hand, we have Oxenfree<\/a><\/strong>, a game created by Night School Studio<\/strong> (acquired by Netflix in 2021). On the other hand, Netflix players can enjoy Molehew\u2019s Mining Adventure<\/strong>, an “arcade gem-mining game.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To play these titles, users will need to use their mobile devices as controllers<\/strong>. While Android users only need to use the Netflix app, iOS users will need to download a separate app<\/a><\/strong> from the App Store, specifically designed to function as a controller for Netflix games.<\/p>\n\n\n

With this initiative, Netflix is forging ahead with a venture that YouTube <\/strong>also embarked upon. Recently, YouTube began internally testing a new feature for streaming games<\/a> directly from its platform. Google <\/strong>didn’t fare well with its previous attempt, Stadia<\/strong><\/a>, but can Netflix succeed where others faltered? Only time will tell if Netflix can achieve success in this arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
