June 04, 2025
Netflixis a giant in the streaming world but would be a minnow in the gaming space. Despite this, mounting evidence suggests that Netflix could expand into the gaming sector as soon as 2022.
Netflix would be a newcomer to the gaming world, but it’s no stranger to interactive content. Black Mirror: Bandersnatch and Bear Grylls’ You vs. Wild are better-known examples allowing users to choose their own adventures. The adapted Minecraft: Story Mode is arguably the closest the firm has come to adding popular video game IP with an interactive twist to its platform.
Aside from choose-your-own-adventure content, Netflix also offers a slew of series based on video games.The WitcherandCastlevaniaboth proved popular in their respective genres.
What could Netflix’s gaming offering entail?
In a statement toPolygon, Netflix noted it’s “excited to do more with interactive entertainment,” however, it failed to shed more details on exactly what this endeavor will entail.
What do you think of Netflix offering games?
In any case, it won’t be an easy win for Netflix. If it offers a one-time batch of downloadable titles, it would need to decide its focus platforms. The likes ofFortnitehave demonstrated that it’s possible to be successful across consoles, PCs, and mobile.
