Netflix launches first games in beta playable on TVs, PC and Mobile
Netflix has released two games: Oxenfree and Molehew’s Mining Adventure, which are available to play for selected users in the UK and Canada for TV, PC, and Mobile.
Since 2021,Netflixhas been working hard behind the scenes on its own gaming service and Netflix Games studio in order to release its own games directly to its streaming platform.
The two games are said to be accessible by TVs, as well as PCs, Macs, and mobile devices.
This has followed the launch of theNetflix Game Controllerapp which was released on August 8, as themulti-billion dollar companyhas looked to ramp up its development into gaming.
The “limited beta test” for the games is only for a small number of users, after Netflix revealed that not everybody in the selected countries will have access to them.
Although it has been announced as a “small test”, it has widely been recognized as a landmark move for the streaming giant as it looks to recreate its streaming dominance in the video games sector.
