Netflix's Gaming Evolution: From Mobile To Main Screen, Here's What's Happening

Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) is catapulting its gaming foray beyond mobile interfaces. 

The company has finally started testing the waters of multi-device playability. The latest move involves a limited beta test, initially targeting a select group of members in Canada and the United Kingdom.

Two games are part of this initial test: Oxenfree from Night School Studio, a Netflix Game Studio, and Molehew’s Mining Adventure, a gem-mining arcade game. 

For TV users, the experience integrates smartphones as controllers, while PC and Mac users can access the gaming platform via Netflix.com on compatible browsers, adding a layer of convenience for those who prefer keyboard and mouse interaction.

“This limited beta is meant to test our game streaming technology and controller, and to improve the member experience over time,” said Mike Verdu, the company’s vice president of Games, in a blog post on Monday.
