DATAMINERS have found an interesting upgrade by looking at the code of the Netflix app.
Netflix upgrades its mobile app all the time to make searching for new entertainment easier.
Award-winning Immortality is one of Netflix’s biggest ever gaming hits.
Recently, Netflix promoted its dedication to its gaming library, promising to add more games in the future.
There are currently around 60 games available for all Netflix subscribers to play as part of the basic package.
These games are only playable via your mobile, as games to be played on TV are not supported.
However, it seems that Netflix will be upgrading its service so that games will be playable on the big screen too.
The source code of the Netflix mobile app now includes messages suggesting there are plans to include games you can play on your TV.
The data also suggests that Netflix plans for users to control the games via their mobiles.
Nowadays, many games carry a control scheme specifically for mobile play, though it is not as sophisticated as standard controllers.
It may not be as easy to control, but it does mean that players won’t have to buy a new controller in order to take advantage of the new upgrade.
Netflix previously claimed that it wanted to expand into other platforms of play, but that it would focus on mobile for the time being.
It could be that these notes or messages are part of early brainstorming sessions for how these games would work on the big screen via their subscription.
