Netflix makes game night effortless with its new TV gaming feature, allowing anyone to play using only their phone as the controller. “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. The move instantly turns living rooms into multiplayer hubs and gives families and friends a seamless way to jump from watching to playing without switching platforms.
This holiday season brings a packed lineup for group play, anchored by the Party Games collection and Dead Man’s Party: A Knives Out Game, where Benoit Blanc leads an investigation starring you and your guests. Netflix also rolls out LEGO Party!, Boggle Party, Party Crashers, Pictionary: Game Night and Tetris Time Warp, giving players a spread of familiar titles that work beautifully in a living room crowd. With phones as controllers, everyone can join in without learning new hardware or navigating complicated setup menus.
For solo players, Netflix expands its mobile gaming world with Red Dead Redemption available on mobile for the first time, complete with Dead West adventures and sunset soaked landscapes. Puzzle lovers get the new Puzzled app, featuring eight daily games and characters from Emily in Paris, Stranger Things and KPop Demon Hunters, all playable on Tudum and mobile. It’s a full ecosystem of games built to live right alongside Netflix’s shows, making the jump from watching to playing smoother than ever.
