This latest development marks the commencement of a broader journey to make games playable on virtually every device where Netflix is enjoyed – spanning televisions, computers, and mobile devices.

Limited Beta Test Unveiled

Commencing on August 14th, Netflix is rolling out a limited beta test, initially available to a select group of members in Canada and the United Kingdom on select TVs and PCs and Macs through netflix.com on supported browsers in the next few weeks.

Curated Gaming Selection

As part of this initial trial phase, Netflix has chosen two distinct games to capture the interests of its audience. “Oxenfree,” crafted by the renowned Night School Studio and developed by Netflix’s in-house game development team, promises an immersive experience that merges storytelling with interactivity.
