Games Coming to Netflix - Now Official

Netflix's latest quarterly report confirms recent gossip about the appearance on the site of video games. They will be available as a monthly subscription at no additional cost. About it writes Variety.

At first, these will be mobile games developed on the basis of the original series and movies of the service, but there will also be completely new games and licensed old ones from other developers. All of this should attract and retain new Netflix subscribers. While the direction is at an early stage of development.

Netflix also reported that there was a record increase in subscribers in 2020 due to the pandemic, but in the second quarter of 2021, the service added only 1.5 million customers worldwide. Of these, about a million are in the Asia-Pacific region, where Latin America alone accounted for about 760,000 new users.

In the US and Canada, the service, on the other hand, lost 430,000 paying subscribers. There, Netflix faces a crowd of fast-growing competitors, including Disney +, HBO Max, Peacock, Discovery + and Paramount +.
