Netflix breaking into gaming more and more!

A few people in the UK and Canada can now use a new gaming service on some TVs. Soon, they’ll be able to play games on their computers too.

Right now, they can play two games. One is called “Oxenfree” made by Night School Studio. The other is a game about digging for gems called “Mining Adventure” by Molehew.

To play these games on the TV, people can use their phones like a remote. Once it moves to computers, they can use the regular keyboard and mouse setup.

Compatible Devices for Netflix Gaming

Here are some TVs and devices that can currently use this gaming service:

* Amazon Fire TV
* Google’s Chromecast TV
* LG TVs
* Nvidia Shield TV
* Roku TVs and devices
* Samsung TVs
* Walmart ONN TV

And guess what? More devices will be added soon!

Just the Start for Netflix

Netflix’s game boss, Mike Verdu, shared some exciting news. He said that since 2021, they’ve been trying to make gaming really fun for their members. They even added mobile games to Netflix. They want to make sure everyone can find a game they love. Mike mentioned that they are still at the beginning of this journey, but they want to make their members happy with more games.

Here’s some more cool news: Netflix is making a Triple A game in California. The person in charge is Chacko Sonny, who worked on “Overwatch.” The team working on this game also has Joseph Staten, who worked on the “Halo” game series, and Raf Grassetti, who worked on the “God of War” game.

After years of gaming on any device he could get his hands on, he is still doing exactly that! Completely unsubstantiated claims: He lives vicariously through himself. He once had an awkward moment, just to see how it feels. His beard alone has experienced more than a lesser man’s entire body.
