Netflix plan expand its gaming service to television screens and is working on a feature that will allow users to use a iphone as command for control the actions within the game.
The content platform in streaming introduced the first games in Spain in September 2021 for Android mobiles. After that, it has been expanding the service to offer 55 games on its platform for those subscribers who want to enjoy games like Tomb Raider Reloaded or other titles based on series like Narcos: Cartel Wars Unlimited.
Following this line, Netflix began to expand its video game service with projects such as the development of a new triple A game for PC and, as confirmed in October 2022, the creation of a new cloud video game platform. In fact, it also announced during this month of March that it would add 40 new titles to its game service this year.
Now, Netflix is working on an option to play its video games through a television, accompanied by a new function that will allow an iPhone to be used as a controller to control the game.
This has been learned by application developer Steve Moser through an analysis of the internal code of the Netflix iOS application, which shows references to games for televisions.
Another novelty that appears in said code is the use of ‘smartphones’ as controls. Specifically, the code has in one of its lines: “A game on your TV needs a controller to play. Do you want to use this phone as a game controller? As it is code belonging to the iPhone application, it is unknown if this function is also proposed for Android mobiles.
