Netflix mulls launching cloud gaming service, days after Google shut its own

Online streaming platform Netflix is mulling its cloud gaming platform, this a year after it introduced its mobile games lineup comprising titles like Stranger Things: 1984, Stranger Things 3: The Game and others.

The OTT giant’s vice-president of games Mike Verdu at a TechCrunch Disrupt conference made the announcement. Netflix is looking to use its expertise in streaming data to enable people play games over the cloud, The Verge reported.

Emphasising that the company is seriously exploring a cloud gaming offering to reach out to subscribers on TVs and PCs, Verdu said that the streaming platform will approach it the same way as mobile games. This comes on a day when Netflix announced that it has 55 more games under development.
