Netflix is bringing party games to TVs

Netflix is expanding its gaming offerings by introducing a range of party games that can be played on TVs. The new games, including Lego: Party, Boggle Party, Pictionary: Game Night, Tetris Time Warp, and Party Crashers: Fool Your Friends, will be available for free and can be controlled using a smartphone. The announcement comes after Netflix previously canceled the release of six titles and removed 20 games from its library, indicating a shift in its gaming strategy. The company is now focusing on specific categories, such as party games, games for kids, and titles based on its popular shows like Stranger Things. The new party games will initially be available on select TV devices, such as those powered by Roku, and in certain countries. However, Netflix plans to expand the availability of these games on TVs over time, making it easier for friends and families to enjoy a new way of playing together.
