Report: Netflix May Have Plans to Bring Games to the Platform "In The Next Year"

The plan was hinted towards back in May, but was just reported by Bloomberg that Netflix could be more serious then we thought about implementing this new service. Recently, Netflix hired Mike Verdu, formerly of EA and Facebook/Oculus, as "vice president of game development". This definitely is a strong sign that Netflix is taking this possibility serious and has at least some sort of plan going forward.

"The idea is to offer video games on Netflix's streaming platform within the next year," the story says, while also reporting, "the company doesn't currently plan to charge extra for the content."

Netflix executives most definitely have been seeing the success of Microsoft's Game Pass platform and decided that this was something they could do. Even though, both Amazon and Google have tried (and failed miserably) to create a similar platform.

As of writing this article, Netflix has yet to make any "official" announcements of the new service, however, judging from their recent business moves, we can safely assume this service is coming.
