Netflixhas been experimenting with gaming for a while – itlauncheda collection of smartphone games around titles such asStranger Thingslast year – but it seems its ambitions go much further than makingNetflix mobile games: the company’s Vice President of games says “we’re seriously exploring” a cloud-based rival service to the likes ofXbox Game PassandPlayStation Plusin order to reach people on their PCs and TVs.
That doesn’t mean Netflix is about to launch a massive library of triple-A first person shooters and MMORPGs. AsThe Vergereports, Mike Verdu explained that “we’re going to approach this the same way we did with mobile, which is start small, be humble, be thoughtful and then build out.”
Netflix’s gaming library is about to get much bigger
Verdu was talking to delegates at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference, where he also revealed that Netflix has another 55 mobile games currently in development and is opening a new games studio in California.
Netflix’s streaming plans aren’t intended to replace yourXbox Series S,Xbox Series XorPS5, though. “We’re not asking you to subscribe as a console replacement,” Verdu said. “It’s a completely different business model. The hope is over time that it just becomes this very natural way to play games wherever you are.” Netflix envisages the service as a “value add” rather than a separate subscription.
