Netflix's Gaming Ambitions: 80+ Games in Development and a Monthly Story Release
Netflix continues to expand its gaming portfolio, with over eighty titles currently under development. This was revealed during a recent earnings call by co-CEO Gregory K. Peters, who also highlighted the service's impressive milestone of launching over 100 games.
A key strategy involves leveraging Netflix's existing intellectual property (IP). Expect to see games directly tied to popular Netflix series, encouraging viewers to seamlessly transition from screen to gameplay.
Another significant focus is narrative-driven games, spearheaded by the Netflix Stories hub. Peters announced plans to significantly increase the release frequency, aiming for at least one new Netflix Story game launch per month.
