Netflix Reportedly Ready to Enter the Video Game Industry
GAMEFINITY.ID, Salatiga – The development of the video game industry, which is becoming increasingly popular, has made various companies look to enter this industry. One of them is the streaming giant Netflix.
Over the past few years, Netflix has made clear its desire to break into the video game industry. At the E3 2021 event Netflix opened a panel about its desire to try to enter the video game industry. And now it looks like Netflix has taken the first steps towards realizing that ambition.
According to the report written by the website The Information, Netflix is contacting various well-known figures in the video game industry to become chief executives of their video game division.
Various figures and experts from other video game companies such as EA, Ubisoft and Nintendo are Netflix’s main targets to lead their video game division expansion projects.
Video Game Subscription Service
For its initial step in competing in the video game industry, Netflix is interested in trying to open a subscription video game service.
Considering that Netflix is well-known in streaming movies and TV series subscription services, it is quite natural for Netflix to look at the subscription video game service business model.
Netflix itself will research other existing subscription video game services to be a reference for their subscription video game service project. One of Netflix’s targets is Apple Arcade.
Apple Arcade is a subscription video game service provided by Apple where customers pay a subscription fee to play unlimited games provided by Apple.
It is still unclear whether Netflix will provide games that they make themselves or will collaborate with other developers/publishers. But what is clear is that Netflix has stated that the games they provide will be free of ads.
Adding a Video Game Adapted TV Series
In addition to its forays into the video game industry, Netflix has stepped up its efforts to create Netflix original content based on existing video game licenses. Netflix plans to present more series of video game adaptations in the future.
Netflix itself is quite successful in working on several series of video game adaptations such as Dota: Dragon’s Blood and The Witcher.
Then the next Netflix show based on the popular video game franchise, namely Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness and rumors, the Final Fantasy 7 anime series.
