Netflix Games Could Work On TV Using iPhone As Controllers

News 18  

Netflix is building its armoury of games which currently stands around 40 titles but the platform has bigger plans to make the service popular. New reports this week suggest Netflix wants to bring games to the big screen and also work out a way to let you play the games using your iPhone. Netflix recently suggested that it wants games to work on every Netflix device that users own, which definitely should include TVs and now a tipster has spotted hints in the iOS code of Netflix which shows the prospect of iPhone being used as a gaming controller. Having this code on the iOS app clearly indicates that iPhone users could have this compatibility on the Netflix app in the near future. Having games work on TV is critical for Netflix to attract serious gamers, and using the iPhone as a controller does feel like a smart move, as the company can avoid working on a separate controller for its service, which only adds to the cost.
