Netflix's Greg Peters Talks Video Games and the Future of Streaming


Listen Later

Netflix Inc. wants you to play Boggle in between binges of Stranger Things.

The streaming service is making its video games available for play on TVs for the first time, co-Chief Executive Officer Greg Peters said Wednesday at the Bloomberg Screentime conference in Los Angeles, taking a major step forward in one of its key growth initiatives.

“One of the gaming areas we’re going after is social gaming experiences that can show up on your TV,” said Peters, who gave the company a B-minus grade for its efforts in that area so far.


Netflix is specifically offering games that can be played in groups, including Boggle PartyPictionary: Game NightTetris Time Warp and Lego Party. 

The company has been offering games for four years, part of a plan to extend its reach beyond films and TV shows. Until now, users had to play those games on mobile devices. With the new ones, subscribers will use their phones as controllers, but much of the play will be on the big screen.
