The new app will allow subscribers to use their smartphone as a controller for video games through the Netflix service.
Thus, when pairing the phone with the TV, the user will have four buttons of various colors on their screen, to emulate an Xbox or PlayStation type controller. Also, it will have a directional button and a menu at the top.
The leading platform in streaming entertainment services had already ventured into video games and in the fall of 2022 it signaled its intentions to expand into this market in the cloud. Although his first foray was in November 2021.
But its executives assured at the time that they do not plan to be a head-on competition against X Box or PS, TechCrunch notes.
It is expected that next year, the Netflix video game platform will launch 40 new titles, as revealed in March of this year.
They seek to generate expectation
For now, the Netflix Game Controller app is only available on the App Store and it is still unknown when it will be released for Android. And, for now, no information has been published about what games or when the app will arrive on the TV screen, but in the description of the application you can read: “Coming soon on Netflix”.
