Netflix has included the first -apkrig game in its subscription offer
Netflix has begun testing games as part of its existing subscription offering. The streaming company announced that today it launched a trial first tasting in the field of video games for its customers in Poland. These are two older mobile titles for Android – Stranger Things: 1984 and Stranger Things 3. Netflix itself notes that this is a very early operation and they still have a lot of work to do in the coming months. But this is to be the first important step on a long journey.
Just two games. Only for Android. Only in Poland. These are humble beginnings, but it is clear that Netflix has enormous ambitions in this field. And also potential. If it can offer existing subscribers for the same (as promised) or very similar price also games, completely without ads and microtransactions, it can enter the fight for customers very aggressively.
Netlix wants to start with mobile games for phones and tablets, as he recently confirmed, but it is no secret that it is also considering expanding to console waters, or in general among larger titles.
Unfortunately, we do not know at this time whether or when the operator is going to expand the testing circuit with other games and countries. It is also worth noting that these are not new games, as you probably guess. Stranger Things: 1984 is a game from 2017 for Android and iOS and Stranger Things 3 is a title from 2019. Netlix wants to start with mobile games for phones and tablets, as recently confirmed, but it’s no secret that it is considering expanding to console waters. , or generally among larger titles.
In this sense, it could be the most important expansion of Netflix in recent years and potential competition not only for services such as Apple Arcade, but also Xbox Game Pass Ultimate from Microsoft or PlayStation Now from Sony. It can build on a huge subscriber base. In addition, as with movies and series, over time Netflix could start producing its own stuff. He has been flirting with them a bit through interactive films such as Black Mirror: Bandersnatch from 2018.
