Netflix games on the TV, with the smartphone as a controller

"Leaked" details about the (next?) arrival of Netflix video games on the big screen, after their launch on mobile.

At the end of 2021, the Netflix streaming platform diversified its activity by launching an offer of free mobile video games, reserved for its subscribers. For the moment, Netflix games are only available on mobile devices, but the platform has recently assured that it wants to extend its activity to computers, TVs and other devices with the Netflix application.

The word to Bloomberg

A statement more recently corroborated by the Bloomberg agency, which discovered an interesting -future- feature in the code of the Netflix application on iOS. More specifically, the following message was spotted: “A game on your TV requires a controller. Do you want to use this smartphone as a controller?” . In other words, an interesting option is already planned which -like on the late Google Stadia service- would allow you to use your mobile to control games on the big screen, in case you do not have a dedicated controller.
