Since 2021, when we added mobile gaming to Netflix, we’ve been working together to create an exceptional gaming experience for our members. Our goal has always been to have a game for everyone, and we work hard to meet members where they are with accessible, seamless, and ubiquitous service. Today, we’re taking the first step in making games playable on all of the devices our members enjoy Netflix on: TVs, computers, and mobile phones.

We’re launching a limited beta test with a small number of members in Canada and the UK starting today on select TVs and on PC and Mac via Netflix.com on supported browsers in the coming weeks. Two games will be part of this initial test: Oxenfree from Night School Studio, a Netflix game studio, and Molehew’s Mining Adventure, a gem mining arcade game. To play our games on TV, we introduce a controller that we already have at hand most of the time: our phone. PC and Mac users can play Netflix.com using a keyboard and mouse.

This limited beta version is intended to test our game streaming technology and controller, and to improve the member experience over time. Games on TV will work on select devices from our early partners, including: Amazon Fire TV streaming devices, Chromecast with Google TV, LG TV, Nvidia Shield TV, Roku TVs and devices, Samsung Smart TVs, and Walmart ONN. More devices will be added over time.

By making the games available on more devices, we hope to make the games even easier for our members around the world to play. Although we are still in the early stages of our gaming journey, we are excited to bring joy to our members through gaming. We look forward to hearing feedback from our testers and sharing more as we progress.
