Netflix, the American subscription streaming service and production company based in Los Gatos, California is considering building its own cloud gaming platform to compete with Amazon Luna, Nvidia GeForce Now, PlayStation Now, and Google Stadia which Google plans to shut down on January 18th, 2023.
This was revealed by Netflix VP of games, Mike Verdu at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference on Tuesday, October 18, 2022.
According to Verdu, “We’re very seriously exploring a cloud gaming offering so that we can reach members on TVs and on PCs. He added, “We’re going to approach this the same way we did with mobile, which is start small, be humble, be thoughtful, and then build out. But it is a step we think we should take to meet members where they are on the devices where they consume Netflix.”
In fact, the company has 55 more games in development. But, will Netflix thrive in the cloud gaming ecosystem? It remains to be seen.
