As covered before, Netflix is entering a new level of gaming experience for its members, with a step towards making games accessible on every platform where its members are enjoying content – from TVs to computers and mobile devices. Starting today, a limited beta test will be rolled out in Canada and the UK, featuring two games: Oxenfree and Molehew’s Mining Adventure.
Windows and Mac Users can use their keyboards and mice to play games
Netflix is introducing a mobile phone as a controller for playing games on TV, transforming a daily-use item into an interactive gaming tool. For those using PCs and Macs, traditional keyboard and mouse controls will suffice.
The games will be operational on a variety of devices, including Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast with Google TV, LG TVs, and Samsung Smart TVs, among others. More devices will be included in the list, showing Netflix’s intention to make gaming a better experience for its members.
The limited beta aims to not only test the game streaming technology and the innovative controller but to enhance the member experience progressively. Though the company acknowledges that they’re in the early stages of this gaming journey, the excitement is palpable. This initiative reaffirms Netflix’s commitment to cater to diverse interests, turning casual viewers into gamers.
It’s not just about watching movies anymore; it’s about engaging in interactive experiences, bringing joy to members in new ways, and offering more reasons to stay connected with the platform.
