Starting today via a limited test, Netflix is now streaming video games directly to devices, eliminating the need to download entire games or own a powerful console or computer that’s capable of running the games natively.
Netflix is testing out two of its streaming video games for select users in Canada and the United Kingdom, supporting select TV models as well as Windows PCs, macOS computers, and mobile devices. Consoles like Microsoft’s Xbox Series X or Sony’s PlayStation 5 are not among the currently supported devices.
The news was announced today via a Netflix blog post after the streaming giant quietly rolled out an app called “Netflix Game Controller” for iOS last week.
Netflix VP of Games Mike Verdu wrote Monday that while the tech company is still “very early in our games journey,” it will offer its beta testers two games to start. One is Oxenfree, an eerie narrative adventure game from Night School Studio which Netflix acquired in 2021. The second is a gem-mining arcade game called Molehew’s Mining Adventure.
