Netflix expands cloud gaming streaming on TV beta to the US

Netflix has started testing its cloud gaming service in the US after previously launching limited trials in Canada and the UK. With the new cloud gaming service, members can play games on smart TVs and TV-connected devices such as Fire TV, Chromecast, and Roku, using their mobile phone as the gaming controller.

According to Netflix’s recent blog post, it is conducting a beta test with a limited number of users, similar to the initial launch in Canada and the UK. So, not everyone will be able to try out the games on their televisions. As with the previous test, only two games are made available for streaming: Oxenfree, which is developed by Netflix’s own Night School Studio, and Molekew’s Mining Adventure.

In order to play Netflix’s streamed games on your TV, you will need to download the special controller app on your iPhone or Android device.
