Netflix made an official announcement that finally reveals a huge secret that the company tried to keep hidden until now, but which it finally chose to confirm. More precisely, those from Netflix have confirmed that they are interested in both games and content for virtual reality, everything being revealed as part of a partnership announcement with the production house of the famous Shonda Rhimes.
Netflix announced everything just yesterday, the on-demand video streaming platform wanting to offer much more diverse content for its subscribers, and apparently this also means the inclusion of games and content for virtual reality. A few weeks ago, information appeared according to which Netflix is hiring several former managers of large game producing companies to launch their own titles in the not-too-distant future.
Netflix: Official Announcement, HUGE SECRET Finally Revealed
Netflix now makes it clear that all the rumors that suggested that it wants to produce games have some truth in the middle, but now it is moving forward with the content for virtual reality. Of course, the partnership that Netflix made with Shonda Rhimes does not say that all this content will be produced now, but it talks about discovering opportunities to jointly produce games and content for virtual reality, so it is clear that the Americans want this too.
"We're trying to figure out what all these different ways are ... we can deepen that fandom, and certainly games are a really interesting component of that. There's no doubt that games will be an important form of entertainment and an important way to deepen that fan experience."
Netflix financed the Bridgerton production of the famous Shonda Rhimes, this being declared by the American platform as the most watched series released so far for its subscribers. Considering the success of the series, it is normal for Netflix to seek to expand the partnership with Shonda Rhimes, even if we do not yet know what exactly they could do together in terms of games, or content for virtual reality, but it will be extremely interesting to find out.
Netflix wants to diversify the offer for subscribers from all over the world in the context in which it has great competition from Disney, still managing to remain the largest video streaming platform on demand.
