Netflix games were previously accessible only on Android and iOS. The move indicates the company’s commitment to making games more universally available.
The streaming titan announced that it had begun game streaming on select devices, primarily TVs. The current limited test consists of two games: “Oxenfree” from Night School Studio, a Netflix Game Studio, and “Molehew's Mining Adventure,” an arcade-style game. Users can play these games on PCs via the web with a mouse and keyboard, while TV games necessitate a phone-based controller.
