Netflix has quietly placed it's Game Controller app on the App Store

Netflix has quietly released a Netflix Game Controller app for iOS ahead of the formal debut of Netflix games on TV. The company has previously stated that it wants Netflix games to be accessible across "all devices." It is expected to be available for Android users later.

The app is freely downloadable for iPhones and iPads from the Apple App Store. The Netflix Game Controller software is essentially a virtual joystick to play Netflix games on TV. The app's App Store page states that iOS 15 or iPadOS 15 and later are the minimum requirements.

The description reads: "Coming soon to Netflix. Play games on your TV with the Netflix Game Controller. This Game Controller app pairs with your TV and allows you to play games on Netflix using your phone or mobile device."

The only requirement to play games is a Netflix subscription since they're ad-free. The dominant streaming service has stepped up its marketing efforts by promoting more cloud games. Laya's Horizon, World of Goo Remastered, and Spooky Oxenfree II: Lost Signals are the recent releases.

Nearly five months after Netflix's VP of External Games, the Netflix Game Controller app was released. Leanne Loombe stated that the firm is in the "very early" stages of this journey. 

Netflix has begun extending its crackdown on password sharing to more nations, including India. Despite some early disappointments, Netflix thinks the decision will pay off in the long run. The company will have additional content to provide, including cloud games, as more people join its queue.
