Netflix To Enter Into The Gaming World

Moreover, Several reports have said Netflix is looking to hire people to oversee a new gaming division. Plans are all being drawn; with nothing nailed down so far but if it all goes well we may see a gaming service; much like Xbox Game Pass or Apple Arcade as early as 2022. The reports suggest that; the service could be offered to its subscribers and games based; on popular Netflix series; as well as original games commissioned; from various indie development studios could be launched.

If Netflix is getting into video games, I’d like to request an #ArmyOfTheDead game where you can roam around Las Vegas pulling off daring heists while blasting zombies. I’d play that all day! pic.twitter.com/A3HegZsCa0

Wild, or games based on Stranger Things, La Casa de Papel and To All the Boys. So we’re excited to do more with interactive entertainment.” Furthermore, In the past, there were rumours of Netflix partnering with Telltale games on a Stranger Things game but the arrangement didn’t work out.
