Streaming giant Netflix has ramped up its dream to make it big in Cloud gaming, as the company hunts for professionals to take on Cloud gaming services like Sony PlayStation Now, Google Stadia, Apple Arcade and Amazon Luna.
According to Protocol, the streaming service is looking for a security product manager with experience handling “cloud gaming challenges”, a rendering engineer who can support Netflix’s “cloud gaming service”, and other related positions.
Netflix recently launched mobile games like “Into the Breach” and “Before Your Eyes”, among others.
However, less than one percent of its subscribers are playing its mobile games. Netflix plans to launch at least 50 gaming titles by the end of the year.
App analytics company Apptopia estimated an average of 1.7 million people are engaging with the games daily, which is less than one percent of Netflix’s over 221 million subscribers, IANS reported from New Delhi.
Netflix‘s ‘Stranger Things’-themed games in particular have done well.
While its mobile games are not very popular, a cloud gaming service may get more eyeballs, especially from young gamers. The games are accessible only to subscribers but have to be downloaded as separate apps.
Netflix has named Epic Games and TikTok among its biggest rivals.
