A limited number of Netflix customers in these countries can visit Netflix.com on supported browsers on a PC or Mac to play two Netflix test games, including Oxenfree and Molehew's Mining Adventure. The games can be played with a standard keyboard and mouse.

As for TVs, Netflix says that games can be played through Amazon TV Streaming Media Players, Chromecast with Google TV, LG TVs, Nvidia Shield TV, Roku devices and TVs, Samsung Smart TVs and Walmart ONN. At the current time, Netflix's games are not available on the Apple TV, but Netflix says additional devices will be added "on an ongoing basis."

TV games can be played with the Netflix Game Controller app, which is available for iPhones and Android devices. The app was released last week and is designed to pair a smartphone with a TV for playing Netflix games.

Netflix has offered mobile games since 2021, and there are now more than 50 titles available, but prior to now, the games could only be played on a smartphone or tablet. Access to games is included in a Netflix membership, with no additional fees or in-app purchases.

During the beta testing period, Netflix will be working on its game streaming technology and controller, aiming to improve the experience over time. The company says that by expanding games to more devices, it hopes to "make games even easier to play" for Netflix subscribers worldwide.

I think all Apple needs to do is make a unique Apple game controller for AppleTV and purchase a big game company like EA sports, but that's just me. A controller would define the AppleTV as a gaming system. I know you can use third party ones, but third party ones are not the same as having a marketed unique dedicated controller. Here is Apple's former controller from the Pippin system.

Games on Netflix just feel wrong but it might be a worthy Apple Arcade competitor.

I can't believe, with how cheap computing power has become, that we've basically gone back to the modern equivalent of mainframes and terminals.

Google Stadia tried cloud gaming and failed. I'm curious how this will do.

This just reminded me that Apple Arcade exists. I’d completely forgotten.

Even a tamagotchi is a worthy Apple Arcade competitor. It doesn’t take much at all…
