The company focuses on mobile gaming to start with, meaning these games are now only available on smartphones and tablets. You won’t find them on your game consoles, computers or smart TVs. That is also a challenge when it comes to commercial breaksince many of us watch Netflix on devices incomparable with his spell. I rarely watch Netflix on a phone or tablet so I’ve never come across them before a report in Polygon this week.
While more than 1.5 million Netflix subscribers play these games every day, I certainly don’t know any. If you’re anything like me, you’re probably wondering what games Netflix offers and how to play them.
