Netflix will reportedly make games available on the App Store as well

Post by zahan119 »

While Netflix says it's working on an iOS version of the service, Bloomberg tech reporter Mark Gurman says Apple's App Store policies will prevent Netflix from making games available on its app. Apple prevents third-party apps from acting as a gaming hub, which has become a point of contention for cloud gaming services like Xbox Cloud Gaming, Nvidia GeForce Now, and Google Stadia.

Cloud gaming services can only get around this by offering their games via a web app like Facebook has done. According to German's latest Power On Italy Phone Number List newsletter, Netflix will circumvent Apple' policies by making its games available through the App Store'. This means that games cannot be downloaded or played from the Netflix app - you will only be able to launch them from the App Store.

The service currently works this way on Android; games are neatly made available in a special tab in the Netflix app, but are downloaded one at a time from the Google Play Store. While this setup is fine, it's not ideal for an all-in-one gaming service. Users should be able to download and play games from the service itself. That's why German predicts that Netflix will eventually move its games to the cloud.
