Netflix’s Innovative Gaming Controller: TV Entertainment
Netflix’s novel virtual gaming controller iOS application alludes to television-based gaming Netflix has introduced an enigmatic, fresh gaming controller application for iOS on the App Store, as delineated by TechCrunch. The complimentary application, bearing the simple moniker “Netflix Game Controller,” is now ready for download and asserts the capability to “establish a connection with your TV for gameplay,” albeit without a current roster of compatible games.
The description of the application states that it will enable you to engage in gaming through Netflix on your television. The description further pronounces, “Imminently available on Netflix,” expounding on the capability to engage in games via the “Netflix Game Controller” on your television. This innovative Game Controller application collaborates harmoniously with your television, affording you the opportunity to participate in gaming on Netflix utilizing your mobile device or smartphone.
Upon downloading and launching the application, you are prompted to select a game on your television and adhere to the provided instructions for connection, although this process does not currently yield any functional outcome. The initial screen of the application highlights that the “Netflix Games on TV are currently in beta testing,” and conveys the caveat that “certain devices may not be supported at this juncture.”
Netflix has embarked on a trajectory of releasing new games catered to its subscriber base, accessible for gameplay on their mobile devices. Over the preceding months alone, Netflix has unveiled games such as Laya’s Horizon, the remastered edition of World of Goo, and the eerie sequel Oxenfree II: Lost Signals. This strategic approach aligns with the notion of extending these gaming experiences to the expansive screen that subscribers employ for viewing films and television series.
Netflix has been forthright in its implicit allusions to gaming on the television platform. Leanne Loombe, the Vice President of External Games at Netflix, articulated earlier this year that the company aspires to render its games “playable on all Netflix-affiliated devices at your disposal.” Loombe also corroborated that efforts toward a Netflix cloud gaming service were “in progress,” following an announcement in October by Mike Verdu, Netflix’s Vice President of Games, that the company was earnestly considering the establishment of such a service. This cloud-based gaming service could conceivably serve as a conduit for engaging in Netflix games on your television.
Chrissy Kelleher, the spokesperson for Netflix, abstained from offering a comment to The Verge. Presently, the game controller application remains unavailable on the Google Play Store.
