No information has been released regarding which of Netflix’s games will be brought to the big screen. In October last year, Netflix VP of Gaming Mike Verdu had said that the company was “exploring a cloud gaming offering”, reports TechCrunch.

He also said the company would open a new gaming studio in Southern California, led by Chacko Sonny, the former executive producer on Overwatch at Blizzard Entertainment.

Verdu had also claimed that he didn’t see Netflix as a competitor to PlayStation or Xbox.

In May, Leanne Loombe, VP of external games at Netflix, talked about the company’s plans for cloud gaming.

“We do believe that cloud gaming will enable us to provide that easy access to games on any screen. Our overall vision is that our members can play games on any Netflix device they have.”

In March, the company was spotted working on an iPhone-based game controller.
