The famous media streaming app is expanding its gaming experience to a wider platform, with Netflix confirming that it will soon bring a cloud gaming feature for all devices with the app available. This would differ from the previous Netflix Games, which mostly featured arcade titles and require users to download the app before playing.
Now that it has invested in Netflix Cloud Gaming, the streaming experience would expand to a better reach as it would no longer be exclusive to mobile devices only, also coming to the web and television.

Netflix's Gaming Experience on the App
When Netflix first announced its gaming venture to the world, there was a mixed perception about it, with some wanting the company to focus on its movies and series streaming part and some supporting them. However, the streaming giant was intent on delivering a gaming experience on the app that would diversify the company's offers to the public.
The company's rollout of its Netflix Games division first started in Poland, and the country could see what the streaming platform's latest feature prepared for the world. It was then made known that it centers on a downloadable game meant for mobile devices, first available on Android and then for iOS, which made its initially available games like the "Stranger Things" arcade series and more.
The streaming giant got enough downloadable games on the mobile and is looking to expand to a larger experience, as the company confirms the Cloud Gaming experience is coming soon. It would center on all devices where the app is available or accessible via the web browser, like on PCs, to no longer have downloaded before accessing its games.
