Netflix wants to get into video games and offer Apple Arcade-like games bundle

Netflix is considering entering the video game market and is already looking to hire its video game executive.

According to a leak, the giant of the streaming would like to add a range of games to its catalog of series and movies. Determined to diversify, Netflix would also look to hire a senior executive specializing in the video game industry. The subscription-based video game service would be similar to Apple Arcade, which gives subscribers unlimited access to its selection of games. With the global gaming market now exceeding $300 billion, according to an April study by consulting firm Accenture, Netflix's move would open a new and highly lucrative stream of revenue for the streaming giant. Netflix has never hidden its interest in video games and, more broadly, in interactive entertainment. The Los Santos firm has also tried the delicate exercise of interactive footage with Black Mirror BanderSnatch, a film where the viewer must make decisions instead of the main character.
