With over 250 million members globally, Netflix is a massive streaming service that offers more than simply shows that are worth binge-watching. There’s a gaming universe hidden away in your subscription that you may explore for free. The streaming service is expanding its entertainment options with roughly 80 games accessible, ranging from beloved series like Love Is Blind and Narcos to oldies like Sonic.
Even though Netflix started offering gaming possibilities to its users almost two years ago, according to latest statistics, just 1% of members are really using this service. Netflix isn’t deterred by this poor uptake. Co-CEO Greg Peters highlights the company’s long-term strategy, pointing to its adherence to the ‘crawl, walk, run’ maxim as proof of its commitment to long-term success.
In 2021, Netflix launched its gaming strategy by distributing games as stand-alone applications for smartphones. The intention was to keep viewers interested in between seasons of hit television programmes like Stranger Things, which has been turned into two video games that let viewers fully immerse themselves in the world of the show.
Netflix’s gaming endeavour is not completely disregarded in spite of these obstacles. Apptopia estimates that 2.2 million people use Netflix every day to play one or more of its games, which is evidence of the hidden gaming universe the streaming service offers.
While it might not replace your console, Netflix’s gaming function is now only available on smartphones, so for those who are aware of it, it adds another level of pleasure.
