Netflix has introduced the Netflix Game Controller app, allowing users to play games on their television screens. The app can connect to your TV and control games using your iPhone. Netflix games are available on iPhone and iPad platforms, not on devices like Apple TV. The app includes a directional pad and four action buttons (A, X, Y, B) integrated into the iPhone’s interface.
Amid competition among streaming platforms, Netflix aims to innovate its services. Gaming has become necessary for streaming services. The Netflix Game Controller App is intended to attract a broader audience and offer diverse entertainment.
In 2021, Netflix started offering over 50 games as part of its subscription, with titles like Tomb Raider and Stranger Things. We expect this expansion to stimulate growth and improve customer loyalty. Netflix members can play these games for free at no additional cost. Mike Verdu, VP of Game Development at Netflix, hinted at exploring cloud gaming services. This suggests Netflix might launch a gaming service for TV screens.
