"Reports about Netflix's efforts to bring its mobile games to televisions began in early 2023. Later that year, the company launched a game controller app for iOS devices. However, there hadn't been much word about gaming on the big screen until now, but it looks like the wait is finally over. To use the new feature, go to the "Games" tab on the Netflix TV app, then pick a game and use your phone as the controller."
"However, the recent move indicates a more serious commitment to expanding its gaming offerings, helping it compete more directly with major video game companies, beyond just mobile gaming rivals. Alongside the announcement, Netflix revealed the new slate of games it's launching, all of which are party titles meant to be played in groups. These include: Boggle Party: Up to eight players are timed to find words in a scrambled letter grid. LEGO Party!: Four players compete in minigames and challenges to earn gold."
Netflix now allows subscribers to play games on select smart TVs by using their phones as controllers through a new Games tab on the TV app. Initial efforts to bring mobile titles to televisions began in early 2023 and the company previously released an iOS game controller app. The TV launch centers on party-style, group-focused titles: Boggle Party, LEGO Party!, Party Crashers: Fool Your Friends, Pictionary: Game Night, and Tetris Time Warp. The initiative aims to deepen Netflix's gaming commitment, broaden competition with major video game companies, boost user participation, and keep viewers engaged with the service beyond streaming.
