Netflix twist: you can now play your favorite games on your TV using your smartphone as a controller!

THE Netflixone of the largest streaming platforms in the world, is developing a new feature to allow users to use their smartphones as game controllers on the TV, making the experience more practical and accessible. The new feature promises to revolutionize the combination of streaming platforms and games.

The discovery of the smartphone control feature came after the platform announced that it is working to offer cloud gaming options, making it easier to use games with any type of device and anywhere.

Developer Steve Moser made the discovery after noticing some Netflix code for iOS. Moser found the phrase:

“A game on your TV needs a controller to play. Want to use this phone as a game controller?”

Netflix invests in games for its users

These new features are evidence that Netflix has invested heavily in the world of interactive games for its subscribers. The platform already has games available on its streaming service and works in partnerships with other companies to offer gaming experiences integrated with its series and films.

One example is the game “The Witcher: Monster Slayer”, developed in partnership with CD Projekt Red, which allows players to explore the universe of “The Witcher” series while hunting monsters in the real world.

To access the interactive games available on Netflix, you must be an active subscriber to the platform and have internet access. Once you log in to your account, you can access the interactive games section on the platform’s home page or search for specific games in the streaming search bar.

Trend

One interesting aspect of Netflix’s foray into gaming is that it’s following a growing trend of video streaming and gaming industries converging. Companies like Amazon and Google are also investing in subscription gaming services, suggesting that this could be the future of digital entertainment.

Additionally, Netflix may be looking to expand its audience beyond movie and TV viewers to also attract casual and hardcore gamers. This could represent a significant shift in the company’s strategy and a challenge to traditional players in the gaming market.
