Netflix, which is one of the most popular video-streaming
services, seems to be exploring new areas that might interest users. The area
being considered is gaming, which is expected to attract many. The OTT platform
is expected to venture into gaming for which it is reportedly making a number
of moves. Here’s what it is all about. Multiple reports, including one by
Reuters, has suggested that Netflix is looking for an executive for its
upcoming gaming division. If this is taken into the direction of reality, the
service will compete with the likes of Apple Arcade, Google Stadia, Xbox Pass,
and more.
It is suggested that the online content platform could
create a gaming space that will let its subscribers get access to games that
can be downloaded. The games could be a mixture of third-party titles and games
based on popular Netflix shows and movies. We don’t know if the platform will
allow for game streaming. To recall, the platform has previously made games
based on popular shows such as Stranger Things and Money Heist. It even came up
with an interactive version of Black Mirror: Bandersnatch. Hence, it shouldn’t
be a problem for Netflix to introduce gaming ideas of its own. It is also
expected to introduce video games at a fixed fee, possibly as a mobile-first
option similar to Apple Arcade. Although, it might explore the idea of games
running on TVs. It could also be ad-free, which can prove to be a relief for
gaming fanatics. There are chances that the gaming service by Netflix could
take shape and launch in 2022. However, we still don’t know how it will
function.
