Netflix is going all in on gaming while Apple continues to flirt with the industry, so which one is taking the right approach?
At its iPhone 15 launch event, Apple announced that AAA games such as Resident Evil Village and Assassin’s Creed Mirage are coming to the App Store. It seemed like a huge step for a tech company that hasn’t spent much time or effort focusing on video games, but a month later, Apple hasn’t had much else to say about its gaming ambitions. Meanwhile, Netflix is committing plenty of resources to gaming, and Apple might be able to learn a thing or two.
The Wall Street Journal reported this week on Netflix’s growing commitment to gaming. Netflix already offers dozens of mobile games included with its subscriptions. In the coming months, the streamer plans to debut even more games based on popular original series and movies such as Squid Game, Wednesday, Extraction, Black Mirror, and more.
Furthermore, we know that Netflix Games will soon expand beyond your phone screen, as the company is currently working on a cloud gaming service that will allow subscribers to play their games on TVs, PCs, and streaming devices.
