Netflix has announced that they have about 90 games currently in development. This move signals that Netflix is serious about redefining the gaming experience, but we are yet to get excited (sorry). Their goal is to offer over 80 games by the end of 2023, all included with every Netflix membership at no additional cost, free of ads, in-app purchases, or extra fees. While Netflix's gaming library just got a significant boost with the launch of the GTA trilogy this week, it's worth noting that currently, less than 1% of Netflix's users engage with their games daily. Such announcement sounds impressive, but does raise questions about the quality versus quantity of these titles (and how many will actually be released and when). It's exciting to observe how Netflix is navigating the realms of movie streaming and gaming. While these two sectors share similarities, being part of the broader entertainment industry, the dive into video games introduces a distinct set of challenges. Sometimes, it only takes one standout title to change it all, and I am eager to see where this journey takes Netflix. #netflix #netflixgames #videogames #videogameindustry #news #videogaming

An interesting story is coming as Netflix considers a shift in how it makes money from games. This is a big deal because it shows that Netflix is rethinking its approach to including games in its lineup of entertainment. This is highly interesting news because right now, Netflix gives its subscribers a bunch of #mobilegames for free, both made by Netflix and others. They've been clear that games are important for their long-term plans. Here's the special thing, Netflix games don't have annoying ads or extra charges, which makes them different from many other mobile games you find in app stores. Now, #Netflix is thinking of adding ads and in-app purchases to its games. This could be tricky because they need to figure out a pricing strategy that works for their players while also considering what other game services are doing. This change comes at a time when not many of Netflix's users are into gaming (less than 1% of its global audience plays them daily), and there are already similar games available elsewhere. What do you think about Netflix's new game plan? Would you be willing to pay for Netflix games? #NetflixGames #IAP

Do you love watching Netflix? We do. Especially when now we can not only watch but PLAY, as it’s been two years since Netflix launched games on their platform. Back then, on November 2021, they started with five mobile games including Stranger Things: 1984 (BonusXP) and Stranger Things 3: The Game (BonusXP). Available on Android and iOS devices, those games demanded nothing else but a Netflix subscription — no ads, no additional fees and zero in-app purchases. But that was two years ago. All in all, Netflix launched 40 games by now 🤩 That includes Grand Theft Auto Trilogy - The Definitive Edition, arrived on Netflix just yesterday, December 14th. We think this story of pushing the limits of its own industry certainly deservs respect 👏. The drive and dedication of the Netflix team is admirable, given the fact that they plan to have 86 games available by the end of this year! Moreover, this summer, Netflix announced their ambition to make games playable on every device — mobile, computers, and  TVs 🖥 Curious thing that to play their games on TV, Netflix suggested to use a “controller that we already had in our hands most of the day — our phones”. It’s only the limited beta test now for the US and Canada members but the strides are foundational, aren’t they? What do you think of Netflix games? Have you played one? #mobilegames #netflixgames #computergames #gamedev #developers #gamingindustry #gamingplatform #gamedevstudio #GTA 

Despite not having a license to be officially distributed in China, The Finals was the #15 most watched PC game across Chinese game live streaming platforms Huya, Douyu and Bilibili. The game does have a Simplified Chinese localization and can be accessed by Chinese gamers via Steam. One intriguing aspect we've seen mentioned in reviews and social media chatter is the coincidental alignment of the games acronym "TF" with that of "TFBoys", a popular Chinese idol group. This has led to playful interactions among players who have humorously referenced phrases such as "Hello, we are TFBoys" when talking about the game. One other aspect is that the game has seen an issue with cheat software being used, impacting the perception of the title among players. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/enifb6F

Most of us are happy just to have a reliable internet connection fast enough to stream video and play multiplayer games online. However, engineers are always trying to push the limits, and a team in Japan did just that, nearly doubling the internet speed world record in the process. #funfacts #funtechfacts #japan #internet #friyay #fridayvibes #weekendvibes #streaming #onlinegames #internetspeed #worldrecord

A common misconception is that people in #gamedev play more games than the average gamer. Not only is this wrong, but most developers will tell you they wish they had *more* time to play. And, of course, there’s the component of money. This isn’t necessarily a bargain bin answer, but my solution has been to rely on the streaming services. The catalogues are massive, I don’t need to devote too much time figuring out if I like a game, and it allows me to explore new genres and experiences. In addition to finding some gems, it’s also a great way to study a bunch of #gamedesign and #narrativedesign techniques without feeling compelled to justify the purchase of a new game. This isn’t a pitch to go out and spend money, but I just played a game on PSPlus for the last hour that aligns with what I want to help make. Knowing that resource is available to me is invaluable.

I am one of the 270 million Netflix subscribers, and I welcomed the addition of Hades (big fan) to their list of games. What struck me from the interview was this quote: "In the long term, we want to have games on all devices you have Netflix on, including mobile, TVs, and computers. It’s still very early and in a test phase with limited games in a handful of countries." One possible solution to achieve this is with cloud gaming (like Amazon Luna, Nvidia GeForce Now, Xbox Cloud Gaming, etc.). Should we expect something like that, Leanne Loombe? #netflix #gaming #cloud

🕹️ Netflix Games is quietly a great treasure trove of games and I don't think it's getting the credit it deserves. They're set to release 86 games this year with quite a few gems in there. Just this week, they're going live with GTA: The Trilogy and that's just the beginning. 🔍 Netflix is crafting games in the realms of Squid Game, Love Is Blind, and more. They're not just games; they're immersive story experiences, bridging the gap between our favorite shows and interactive play. 📈 Growth & Opportunities: Netflix's 'Blue' studio in LA is expanding, dedicated to transforming narratives into engaging game experiences. Attractive offers are on the table for game devs—up to $500k for roles shaping AAA titles and social party games. 🙋 I'm starting to see Netflix's integration of story and play actually embody the transmedia opportunity. I feel like this is going under the radar but will really take hold in the near future. Has anyone else tried their games? #GamingIndustry #NetflixExpansion #StorytellingInGaming https://lnkd.in/e-PR7ijj

In 2019, a new Netflix series titled Kingdom landed on the streaming service.

The Netflix tie-in game is out now, on Android and iOS - and is available on PC via Steam, if you'd rather play it there.
