New Delhi: Netflix is about to make a big expansion by adding a new gaming hub inside its app. It has noticed that just as many young viewers love playing games as watching movies and shows. To keep this audience interested, Netflix has started offering more mobile games, and soon the platform will allow users to play games directly on their TVs and computers too.
This move indicates that Netflix no longer wants to remain just a streaming application; instead, it wants to be a complete entertainment platform where users can watch, play, and interact. The gaming hub will consist of different types of games such as puzzle, racing, adventure, and story-based games. All these would be free for the subscribers of Netflix, hence users need not pay any extra charges for them.
Netflix said that gaming has become one of its major priorities because teens spend hours playing online games. In fact, by offering the games, Netflix will be able to engage this age group on its platform. This will help Netflix keep ahead of competitors such as Disney Plus, Amazon Prime Video, and YouTube.
The company has already tested cloud gaming in a few countries. Cloud gaming means users can play games without downloading anything. The game runs on Netflix servers, and users only need a good internet connection. This technology will also let Netflix publish high-quality games, which normally require powerful devices.
