Gaming enthusiasts everywhere are likely rejoicing the news that Netflix is planning to bring video games to their PC, Mac, and even television. It has announced that it is in the early stages of testing an interactive version of its streaming service.
This new game-streaming service builds off of the gaming titles already offered on the app, such as Candy Crush and Stranger Things 3: The Game. With the help of a special interactive Netflix app, gamers will be able to play online computer games with friends and family, or even send invitations to those who don’t have the interactive app. The app will offer a variety of genres and titles, and depending on the game you’re playing, you’ll have access to game guides, strategy tips, and even live competitions.
Due to technical advancements in the gaming industry, playing high-definition games is no longer a challenge. With cloud-based games, the popularity of services like Netflix has increased significantly. Fans of the popular streaming service now view it as a one-stop hub, capable of both providing entertainment and providing its viewers with a place to play interactive games.
Netflix has not released any specifics about the service, but the test came with a tweet from the company. It said that the testing period could take several months and run through 2021. It will be interesting to see how Netflix will handle a gaming subscription service. The streaming service is indeed looking to supplant the conventional games console and compete with top gaming streaming services, such as Google’s “Stadia” and Amazon’s “Luna”.
The team at Netflix is confident that this addition to its streaming service will keep viewers engaged and distracted during the pandemic. The gaming service is also expected to offer a great level of convenience, allowing gamers to easily shift between the two services and access their games on multiple devices.
Netflix’s new game-streaming service is sure to please many gamers out there who want to enjoy a great gaming experience without having to invest in dedicated gaming consoles. Although it’s still early days, this could be a great step forward for both casual and hardcore gamers alike.
