Report: Netflix wants to expand into gaming

Netflix is apparently trying to get into the gaming industry, co-ordinate to a new report. The company has been shopping effectually for an executive with gaming feel as it looks to expand its offerings to entertainment media.

The report comes from The Information, which cites anonymous inside sources who say that Netflix has approached gaming industry veterans with offers to bring together the company. What they await this new hire to do, however, is unclear, with the sources saying that the strategy is up in the air. Ane thought is to offer a bundle of games to subscribers in the same mode, like Apple does for Arcade subscribers (good thing it didn't compare its services to Xbox Game Laissez passer considering they're not really all that similar).

Netflix and gaming aren't exactly strangers -- the company has of course produced some of the best gaming adaptations to date, like the animated Castlevania evidence and The Witcher (which takes at least some inspiration from the games). It's likewise dabbled in video game adaptations of its shows, such as the Stranger Things games that take cropped upwards for mobile and consoles.

The service has tried its hand at interactive shows before, such equally the film Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, which mimicked a choose-your-own-adventure story.

Netflix later released a argument to multiple outlets maxim, "Our members value the diversity and quality of our content. It's why nosotros've continually expanded our offering - from series to documentaries, film, local linguistic communication originals and reality Television. Members also enjoy engaging more directly with stories they love - through interactive shows like Bandersnatch and You v. 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."

That might sound like a confirmation, but "interactive entertainment" doesn't necessarily mean games. We'll have to see what the company comes up with. In the meantime, if you want to catch up to Netflix on console, become yourself a good Xbox Serial X headset.
