Netflix to Make Its Games Playable on More Devices

Netflix's vice president of games, Mike Verdu, announced in a blog post on Monday that the firm will test games on a few TVs and desktops as a first step towards making them playable on additional devices.

The firm started rolling out a limited beta test to a small set of users in Canada and the UK on select TVs, and in the coming weeks on PCs and Macs via Netflix.com on supported browsers.

“Today, we’re taking the first step in making games playable on every device where our members enjoy Netflix — TVs, computers, and mobile,” said Verde in a post on Netflix’s blog.

“While we’re still very early in our games journey, we're excited to bring joy to members with games.”

Verdi indicated that the new functionalities will be made available to many nations throughout the world, including the Middle East, in the coming months.

The streaming platform had begun its push into the gaming experience by launching Netflix games on mobiles in November 2021.
