Netflix Prepares to Launch Several Multiplayer Party Games on Your TV This Holiday Season

by

Netflix is expanding into video games you can play on your TV. Starting this holiday season, subscribers will have access to five new party games they can play directly on their televisions.

Netflix explains that playing games is easy: just select one from a new tab and connect your phone as a controller. They compare the setup to how simple it is to start watching a show.

The first set of games features both classic titles and fresh concepts. Players can enjoy Lego Party, a new game called Party Crashers: Fool Your Friends—which plays a bit like Among Us—and updated versions of Boggle and Pictionary.

Tetris Time Warp rounds out the selection, and it bears a resemblance to a small game found within last year’s Digital Eclipse Tetris Forever collection.

For a few years, Netflix has been testing the waters with mobile games. However, they recently announced that their main goal for 2025 and beyond is to offer cloud gaming – letting people play multiplayer games directly on their TVs.

Netflix hasn’t announced a specific date for when its first TV games will be available, but says they’re arriving shortly. This is part of Netflix’s plan to make living rooms a place where people can enjoy games together, using their phones as controllers to play with friends and family in the same room.

This innovative method has the potential to redefine TV gaming. It merges the ease of streaming with engaging gameplay, making it simple to start playing games without needing a console or a complex setup. People who enjoy playing casual games with friends will likely find this particularly attractive, as it enables quick and easy social gaming from their sofas.
