Thanks to this new partnership, Netflix is expected to offer its subscribers a better ad-free gaming experience. However, the two companies did not disclose the exact value of the streaming platform's latest acquisition. 

The new Boss Fight Entertainment acquisition marks Netflix's third gaming firm acquisition. This is also a part of the streaming company's effort to offer a better gaming experience.

Thanks to Boss Fight's gaming expertise, Netflix users are expected to see better titles in the long run. 

"Boss Fight's mission is to bring simple, beautiful, and fun game experiences to our players wherever they want to play," shared the founders of Boss Fight Entertainment via Netflix's official blog post

Scott Winsett, Bill Jackson, and David Rippy, also stated that Netflix could help Boss Fight and other gaming companies without worrying about monetization. 

This is because the streaming company is committed to offering ad-free titles. The new partnership with Netflix will also allow the gaming company to create original games that can provide a more engaging experience to gamers.  

Netflix's Previous Game Company Acquisition

Before the video streaming firm acquired Boss Fight Entertainment, it was able to purchase another company back in the first week of March. 

The title developer behind "Stranger Things: Puzzle Tales," Next games, will offer new mobile titles around the end of March. 

Netflix subscribers can access them via the streaming company's official mobile application. But, they need to download the new games as separate apps. 

This shows that Netflix really wants to offer a better gaming experience, allowing it to become more than just a streaming service. 

Last week, Netflix's new Add Extra Member feature was expected to solve the issue with password sharing. 

Meanwhile, the new profile transfer feature of Netflix aims to encourage freeloaders to pay for their own accounts.
