Netflix is rolling out a limited beta test of its cloud gaming to a small number of members in Canada and the UK on select TVs starting, and on PCs and Macs through Netflix.com on supported browsers in the next few weeks.
Two games will be part of this initial test: Oxenfree from Night School Studio, a Netflix Game Studio, and Molehew’s Mining Adventure, a gem-mining arcade game.
To play games on TV, Netflix has introduced a controller app on iOS and Android. Subscribers on PCs and Macs can play on Netflix.com with a keyboard and mouse.
Details
The company first launched its mobile gaming offerings to subscribers in November 2021. The games were free to play on iOS and Android. With this new development, subscribers will potentially be able to play Netflix’s titles on TVs and PCs.
Games on TV will operate on select devices including Amazon Fire TV Streaming Media Players, Chromecast with Google TV, LG TVs, Nvidia Shield TV, Roku devices and TVs, Samsung Smart TVs, and Walmart ONN. Additional devices will be added on an ongoing basis.
