News & Reviews:   netflix games

From time to time, we would read news about Netflix expanding its gaming portfolio here and there. However, it seems that the company is scaling back its mobile games catalogue by removing more than 20 titles, including acclaimed favourites like Hades, Monument Valley, and Before Your Eyes.

Netflix has been pushing for a different take with its Netflix Games service, offering access to big titles like GTA. Unfortunately, few users play the 86 games on the platform. And Netflix clearly wants to make money from it, so there are plans for changes.

Yup, you read that right. Netflix Games is expanding its library further with three huge GTA titles, namely GTA III, GTA: San Andreas and GTA: Vice City. Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is listed on the Apple App Store as 'coming soon'. 

You probably have played Hades on your console or PC. Well, how about playing it on your mobile device? In a surprising announcement, Supergiant Games the developer of Hades, officially announced that the game is indeed coming to iOS devices such as the iPhone and iPad via Netflix Games. 

Previously, we mentioned Netflix’s Game Controller App on iOS. Today, Netflix’s VP for the Gaming Division, Mike Verdu confirmed that you can now play mobile games on the streaming platform. That said, this is what you should know about gaming on Netflix.

In case you didn't know - yes, Netflix Games is a thing for mobile users who are subscribed to Netflix. That said, the company may be working on something to allow you to play Netflix Games on your TV with your iPhone as a controller, according to Bloomberg.

Streaming giant Netflix is serious about branching out into the gaming industry and has announced that it will not just rely on third-party game teams for its gaming catalogue. Instead, the company is forming an in-house game studio based in Helsinki, Finland and aims to create “world-class” original titles.

Popular streaming service Netflix expanded into mobile gaming in November last year, but it looks like the service has gotten just meagre traction. Available only to subscribers but have to be downloaded as separate apps, a recent analysis found that less than 1 percent of Netflix’ total subscribers are using the service.

A few months back, Netflix announced that it's expanding into mobile games. The company beta-tested it in selected countries over the last few months, before launching for Android users last week. Now, Netflix is ready to launch it on more platforms.

Netflix is no longer just your movie streaming platform but is expanding its territory and will be launching its first games worldwide to break into the game subscription market. The company will roll out updates to its Netflix app on Android smartphones beginning with five mobile games for all Netflix subscribers.
