🎮 Netflix Levels Up: The Game Controller Era

The Netflix Gaming library has been steadily growing over the last few months. They have added some amazing games to the platform like — Oxenfree 2. I have talked in detail about Netflix Games here and have been reviewing some awesome titles I’m playing. Now, with the introduction of the Game Controller app, we are moving into the next level of Netflix Gaming and it’s going to be exciting.

The Netflix Game Controller app, though freshly launched, has already stirred up a whirlwind of excitement and speculation. While the games have not yet launched and we don’t know how they’ll work, the design suggests that it’s designed to seamlessly integrate with the existing Netflix Games platform.

Netflix’s move into gaming was initially centred around mobile experiences. However, with the Game Controller app, there’s a clear signal of broader ambitions. Could we soon be playing Netflix games on our TV sets, enjoying immersive graphics on the big screen? This might just be the start of the next level of gaming.

With the introduction of the Game Controller app, I wonder if Netflix is setting the stage for its own cloud gaming service. Netflix Games is a good alternative for people who aren’t into hardcore console gaming and use Xbox Cloud Gaming or GeForce Now. Netflix has an edge here as they know streaming and greater accessibility as anyone who has a Netflix account can dabble into a game or two and get hooked.

While the games compatible with the Game Controller app haven’t been released yet, the possibilities are tantalizing. Will we see games that tie in with popular Netflix series? Or perhaps entirely new IPs that push the boundaries of storytelling and interactivity? I’m excited!
