Netflix is actively developing a cloud gaming service.

 

With a cloud gaming service that Netflix is presently developing, its expanding game library could be played more conveniently and on a variety of devices. Leanne Loombe, Netflix's VP of external games, confirmed during a press briefing that development on the project is "underway."

This comes after Netflix's vice president of games, Mike Verdu, declared in October that the company was "seriously exploring" a cloud gaming service. Loombe said the following in the briefing:

These mobile games are currently available through the Netflix app, but in order to play them, users must download them from the App Store or Google Play. This is less convenient than simply tapping to begin a program within the app.

More people might attempt Netflix's games if they can play them within the app, as opposed to the small number of people who have done so so far.However, according to Loombe, it will be uncertain for some time exactly how Netflix's mobile games work as of right now. Given that Netflix's cloud gaming efforts appear to be in their early phases, this is not surprising. Before being able to provide a complete cloud gaming service, Apple will likely need to relax its strict restrictions on cloud gaming apps.

However, it seems that the company is still committed to using cloud gaming to increase the accessibility of their games for mobile and other platforms.

Coming Soon: 40 New Games

With the most recent additions of Valiant Hearts: Coming Home and the eerie dystopian game Highwater, Netflix now has 55 games in its collection. However, in 2023, it plans to add up to 40 more games.

Some of these upcoming games have been made public by the developer, including Paper Trail, a puzzle game that involves folding the globe, and Terra Nil, a reverse city-building game that will debut on March 28th.

Mighty Quest: Rogue Palace, the second of three exclusive titles made in collaboration with Ubisoft, is scheduled for release on April 18. This roguelite is set in the same world as The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot and features a revised gameplay system, a complex leveling system, and more.
