It was recently reported that Netflix was workingon its own video game platform, but the details were not yet very clear on the form that this new service would take. The company confirmed this week that it plans to enter the video games market, and that its first work will focus on mobile games. Netflix thus positions itself as a direct competitor to Apple and its Apple Arcade service which already allows, against a paid subscription, to enjoy a very complete catalog of mobile games.
According to information fromThe Verge,Netflix reportedly revealed several interesting details about its mobile gaming platform project in a letter sent to its investors this Tuesday, July 20.
The company states that it is still“in the early stages of its development”.Netflix's intentions nevertheless seem to be very serious if we are to believe this letter, the video game market being a new world to conquer for the platform which is alreadythe undisputed leader when it comes to films or series.
A free platform for subscribers
Initially, Netflix ensures that its platform will focus on the mobile games market, the most profitable, but also the most accessible for it. At this stage, the firm does not rule out the idea of looking into the console and PC games market if its integration into the world of video games is successful. But the big strong point of this new platform offered by Netflix is that it should be accessible free of charge for all people who are already subscribed to the brand's streaming service.
If Netflix succeeds in this feat,the platform would immediately be the most popular in the world, far ahead of Apple Arcade, its main competitor which is having the greatest difficulty gaining subscribers.
