Netflix launches its mobile games globally
As of today, Netflix will begin to provide a tiny portfolio of games to Android users, indicating that the integration of games into the Netflix service was a success during the testing phase.
They are free of charge in addition to the subscription and will be available in the Netflix application, even if they are downloaded through Google Play or another third-party app store. Users of Apple's iOS operating system will have to wait a little longer.
Recall that Netflix began testing its game catalog with Android users in Poland last August. The tests included the games Stranger Things 1984 and Stranger Things 3 . Then, subscribers from Spain and Italy were included and 3 more games were added: Shooting Hoops, Teeter Up and Card Blast. The games will use the preferred language of the Netflix profile and in cases where the chosen language is not available, English will be used. Also, some of these games can be played offline.
The catalog of games is very small, although Netflix has already bought its first studio to develop games for the company to try to reverse this situation. In this way, it is likely that the catalog will start offering new games based on Netflix series and movies soon.

This is so weird. What is the actual point of ... what is it even, streaming android games from a netflix server? Aren't games all so simple in graphics that any phone can play them now? And they're almost all free anyway, right? And terrible?

Is there really a demand for people wanting to play streamed Android games on their TVs? Didn't Ouya build an entire Kickstarter and console on this principle, only for it to fail hard (which I said it would).
I guess if it's free and part of the service then fine but as Caesar said wouldn't the resource being spent on this be better spent on making the existing service (the one that people ARE paying for) better?

not really disagreeing with you guys on principle, but in fact Netflix's servers are made for 4k streaming...780p Android games should be no issue (except for connections)

Hope Disney does the same with Disney+ and offers licensed games based on their properties as well as old Lucas Arts games...
But I would rather if Netflix just continue"s" to focus or show conscientiousness on streaming LATEST movies and shows....
