Netflix plans to “ramp up” its investment in gaming after the company previously pulled back from its grand ambitions in the AAA space and shut down a studio from Halo veteran Joe Staten. As part of Netflix’s latest earnings briefing, co-CEO, president, and director Greg Peters commented on Netflix’s vision for gaming, saying Netflix’s investment thus far has been relatively small in comparison to the money it puts into film, TV, and live sports programming. The opportunity to grow is significant, he said.Currently, Netflix’s games are included with a subscription to the streaming service, and Netflix’s games do not have ads or microtransactions. Some have theorized that Netflix might seek to monetize games in different ways in the future, but nothing is confirmed yet.Netflix is now focused on four main areas for its upcoming games slate, including party games, kids games, narrative games, and “mainstream” games. How promising is the gaming industry ?
