Netflix Takes a Big Leap Into Gaming
Netflix, known for binge‑worthy shows, is finally putting a game in the mix. The streaming giant is creating its own video‑game studio, giving its digital playground a brand‑new frontier.
Meet the New Commander
- Marko Lastikka – Former boss at Zynga and Electronic Arts, now steering the venture.
- Industry veteran who’s spent his career turning pixels into profits.
- Bringing a treasure trove of experience to Netflix’s game‑making ambitions.
Why This Matters
Netflix’s move isn’t just a side project—it’s a full‑scale commitment to diversify and strengthen its entertainment ecosystem. By building a studio from scratch, the company can:
- Control the entire creative journey.
- Merge its beloved storytelling with interactive fun.
- Compete directly with gaming giants.
What We’re Expecting
With Marko at the helm, fans can anticipate:
- Innovative titles that blend Netflix’s narrative depth with slick gameplay.
- New ways to binge, but this time on an ever‑changing screen.
- Strategic collaborations that will turn the streaming house into a power‑house.
Picture Netflix as that clever friend who always has a surprise in their pocket—now it’s planning to drop that surprise right into gamers’ hands.
Netflix’s Game‑Game‑Game Revolution
Netflix is no longer just about binge‑watching; it’s building a whole gaming empire from the ground up. The latest twist in this saga? A brand‑new game studio straight out of the Office—well, from the Office of Helsinki, Finland. According to Netflix, the city is “home to some of the best game talent in the world.” If that’s true, we’re in for some very slick games.
Building a New Studio
In a move that mirrors its previous acquisitions (think Oxenfree’s Night School Studio and Next Games), Netflix is constructing a fresh studio to support mobile puzzle RPG Stranger Things: Puzzle Tales. The goal? A play‑in‑your‑bathroom, commute‑while‑you‑chat‑long‑unwind bunker of a game that feels like a DIY zine for gamers.
Netflix’s leader on external game development, Leanne Loombe, says the mission is simple: “We want a game for every Netflix member. Our audience is huge and diverse, so our game line‑up has to match that.” In other words, we’re aiming to have a game for everyone from deep‑sea divers to tea‑time chess players.
Everything on the Mobile Queue
- Into The Breach – a minimalist, strategic indie hero‑battle
- Hextech Mayhem – a rhythm‑based auto‑runner that feels like a laser‑tag dance party
- Stranger Things: Puzzle Tales – a mystery‑filled mobile RPG
- Upcoming: The Queen’s Gambit Chess – a chess mash‑up with a snazzy Netflix twang
All of these titles are free for subscribers. You can snag them directly through the Netflix app, from the Google Play Store, or the .iOS App Store—whatever works for your platform.
Netflix + Ubisoft: A Symbiotic Fantasy
Rolling out the “game‑card” for indie devs, Netflix is partnering with Ubisoft on two exciting projects:
- “Valiant Hearts II” – a sequel that will keep your heart beating fast
- “The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot” – now with rogue‑like elements for those who love a good loot‑drop gamble
And if that’s not enough, they’re hunting for a live‑action Assassin’s Creed show while also dropping a Netflix‑exclusive mobile game in the same universe. All of this shows the industry’s confidence: streaming brands are blending lines between media, TV, and gaming.
Game‑Based Series – The Final Frontier
Netflix’s passion for gaming spills into its TV lineup, too. Think:
- Arcane – the adrenaline‑charged animated spin‑off from League of Legends
- Cyberpunk: Edgerunners – a slick, hyper‑rainy spin‑off from Cyberpunk 2077
- A live‑action adaptation of Horizon Zero Dawn is reportedly on the way.
In short, Netflix is showing a brilliant, no‑hold‑backs approach: the more titles you have—whether video, game, or even both—on your account, the more we get stuck in every realm. And for fans who love a story tucked in a various ways, the platform looks to be ready to deliver on all fronts.

Assassin’s Creed: Epic Action Meets Streaming, Esports, and Mobile Boom
Picture this: you’re at your couch, blasting a fresh Netflix show, and the Assassin’s Creed soundtrack starts pulsing through the speakers. Suddenly, the world shifts, you’re in high noon, and you’re throwing silent feet in real‑time against other players – all while smashing your phone screen. That’s the wild intersection of Assassin’s Creed, streaming giant Netflix, the adrenaline of Esports, and the hands‑on vibe of mobile gaming. Let’s roll into the action!
Diving Into the Netflix Cue
Old-school gamers think Netflix is all binge‑drama and Netflix originals, but the platform’s branching into Assassin’s Creed just opened a new dimension:
- “Legends Live” segments – watch live, in‑minute streams of Gamers LIVE performing covert missions.
- Documentary feel – a mini‑doc on the craftsmanship behind the game’s pixel perfection and era‑accurate lore.
- Exclusive light‑ups – behind the scenes maker tips narrated by famous actors from the series.
Netflix’s subscriber numbers rise when viewers see a game that actually exists in the same universe they’re watching on TV. The synergy? Pure magnetism. Imagine a player launching a Crimson Citadel episode right after that, all powered by a single app.
Esports – The Modern Arena
What’s an Assassin’s Creed title without a battlefield? The game’s competitive scene keeps fans awake:
- Fast‑Paced Races – who can land the perfect dash? Speed Diabolus kicks into stark 1‑v‑1 mode.
- Clockwork Victory – triple‑stage tournaments hosted on Twitch and YouTube live streams with crisp commentary.
- Global Teams – “Eclipse” and “Midnight” aren’t just squads; they’re the backbone of Assassin’s Creed leagues.
These Esports are conteiner > on Medium Notic – no, folks
Mobile – The Game in Every Pocket
If you ever wished an Assassin’s Creed experience fit on your phone, that wish is gone from 2025 onward:
- Symbol gamesections – battle against lush landscapes, all tech‑drawn in pixel stealth.
- Cross‑play global sync – mobile players join the same Unity environment, launching missions on the fly.
- Micro‑consoles – high‑score chats via integrated voice features.
And if you’re laughing at the “Slow‑Day channel,” just imagine cornering the ground to deliver a quick glance as you chase the analog shape in the world of music. (And yes, you can keep it on your windows, since we’ve left it when .)
