Netflix continues to make headlines, and not just for its hit shows. From gaming ventures to surprise renewals and hidden movie gems, here's a quick look at what's happening in the world of Netflix.
Netflix and Gaming: What's the Strategy?
Netflix's foray into video games has been a bit of a roller coaster. Remember when they quietly started adding games to their streaming catalogue? Back in 2021, after experimenting with interactive film like Black Mirror: Bandersnatch and a Stranger Things game, they started expanding into interactive entertainment. For a while, Netflix's gaming section was a well-kept secret, featuring award-winning indie games like Before Your Eyes, Spiritfarer, and Into the Breach.
Netflix even invested in studios known for quality work, like London-based Ustwo games (of Monument Valley fame) and created a California studio to develop blockbuster titles. However, recent layoffs and leadership changes have raised questions about the long-term strategy. Will Netflix continue to pursue gaming, and if so, what kind of games will they focus on?
