Netflix's global subscribers exceed expectations

Netflix introduces in-game IDs for iOS and Android gamers

Netflix is currently rolling out a new feature that allows users to create game handles, resulting in a more individualized and immersive gaming experience.

With game handles, members will be able to create a one-of-a-kind public login that may be used across the board for all Netflix games. In multiplayer games like Rival Pirates, an adventure game where you set sail, fire cannonballs, and try to be the last boat left afloat; and in the leaderboards of games like Dominoes Café and Lucky Luna, the game controls let players meet, make friends with, and play with each other.

How to launch the gaming ID 

On both iOS and Android devices, the process of establishing a game handle may be completed in just two easy steps:

Start up your Netflix mobile app.

If you download Rival Pirates or Lucky Luna on an iOS device, you’ll be able to choose your gamer name when the game asks you to.

To create a Netflix game handle on an Android device, go to the navigation bar, select the games tab, and then look for the banner that says “Create your Netflix game handle.”

According to Sophia Yang, Product Manager for Mobile Games, “This feature is only the beginning of building a tailored game experience for our members around the world.” We will continue to modify and improve our service to cater to our subscribers’ requirements, but in the meantime, challenge yourself to see if you can outscore me in Dominoes Café.

Netflix will launch a new gaming studio 

In related news, on Monday, Netflix made the announcement that it would be opening an internal games studio in Helsinki, Finland. Marko Lastikka will serve as the studio director for this new endeavour.

Amir Rahimi, Vice President of Game Studios, said of the creation of an internal studio, “This is another step in our plan to build a world-class games studio that will bring our hundreds of millions of members around the world a variety of fun and deeply engaging original games with no ads and no in-app purchases.”

Netflix and the French video company Ubisoft recently announced they would work together. Starting in 2023, Netflix will ask Ubisoft to make three mobile games based on some of the most popular game franchises in the world.

As of today’s launch, Netflix Edition and Wild Things: Animal Adventures are among the titles that accept game handles as of today’s launch. However, for the time being, users can only use their game handles within Rival Pirates, Lucky Luna, and Dominoes Cafe. This feature is only available in those three games.
