Netflix Game Night launches on TV with simple phone controls as the streamer unveils party games available now and teases a wave of new titles arriving this holiday season for players of all ages.
Netflix is leveling up game night in a big way. The streamer has officially rolled out gaming on TV, allowing subscribers to play a growing slate of titles using nothing more than their phone and their existing Netflix account. No consoles, no complicated setup — just tap, connect, and play.
With this new update, all players need is Netflix and their smartphone, instantly turning the device in their hand into a controller. It’s a streamlined, accessible way to get friends and family gaming together without extra hardware or hassle.
Along with the rollout, Netflix has already made its Party Games collection available to play right now. And the fun is just getting started: this holiday season, the platform will launch an entire lineup of new games designed to appeal to every type of player, offering something for all ages and play styles.
“Starting today, you can play games on your TV, using your phone as a controller — no setup needed, it’s as easy as streaming your favorite shows,” said Alain Tascan, President of Games at Netflix. “You can now go from watching KPop Demon Hunters to playing Pictionary: Game Night without ever leaving Netflix. And for those who love to play anywhere and everywhere, we’re bringing even more games to your phone with our own special Netflix touch.”
With seamless controls, easy access, and plenty of new titles on the way, Netflix is turning living rooms everywhere into instant game lounges — just in time for the holidays.
