"Back in January, Netflix co-chief executive officer Gregory Peters said the service is rolling out party and couch co-op games that you can stream online in the future. Now, Peters has announced that several party game titles that you can play on your TV are coming this holiday season at the Bloomberg Screentime conference in Los Angeles. "We're creating a completely new way to play games - one that's as easy as streaming a show on a Friday night," the service said in its announcement."
"The new games, which you can play with friends for free, include Lego: Party, a title that will typically cost you $40. You'll also be able to play Boggle Party, wherein you compete with friends by finding words in a jumbled-up letter grid within a time limit, and Pictionary: Game Night that will have you guessing what your friends are drawing."
Netflix is launching a set of free, TV-streamed party and couch co-op games that will arrive this holiday season. Featured titles include Lego: Party, Boggle Party, Pictionary: Game Night, Tetris Time Warp and Party Crashers: Fool Your Friends. Players can use their phones as controllers by scanning a QR code. Tetris Time Warp offers different eras of the game, from the 1984 original to the Gameboy version. Lego: Party typically costs $40 on other platforms but will be free to play on Netflix. The games will be initially available on select TVs, including some Roku-powered devices. Earlier cancellations and removals prompted a focus on party games, kids games, well-known franchises and titles tied to Netflix shows.
