A Controller Revolutionized: Your Phone Takes Center Stage

Get ready to embrace a game-changing twist to the conventional gaming controller. Netflix is turning the spotlight onto a device that already has an unbreakable bond with your hands – your smartphone. This will mean that your phone becomes the controller, allowing you to navigate through virtual realms. If you are a PC or Mac user, use Netflix.com and on supported browsers, you’ll be able to use your keyboard and mouse instead. This is clearly the better option, most systems that try to use a phone as a controller end up being very problematic, there’s no real substitute for a real tactile controller and without trying this beta it’s safe to say the code isn’t cracked yet.

Charting the Uncharted: The Road Ahead

The beta test does however serve as a source to refine Netflix’s game streaming technology and controllers and take valuable feedback on the overall user experience. The great thing about cloud gaming is that it won’t be limited to a single device; other select devices from partners like Amazon Fire TV Streaming Media Players, Chromecast with Google TV, LG TVs, Nvidia Shield TV, Roku devices and TVs, Samsung Smart TVs, and Walmart ONN will soon play host to this Netflix Gaming, with more devices poised to join the fold.

It’s no wonder why Netflix want to get in on the gaming action last year the gaming industry brought in over $220 Billion Dollars. Are you ready to embark on this thrilling gaming expedition with Netflix?
