Netflix is thinking about making money from its video games by adding in-app purchases and ads, according to reports. Currently, Netflix subscribers can download many mobile games for free as part of their subscription. The streaming giant offers over 75 games, including popular ones like Grand Theft Auto and Love Is Blind.
Now, Netflix is considering putting a price on some premium games and including ads in others to generate revenue. The company hasn’t officially commented on this yet. Last year, Netflix had mentioned that it wasn’t concerned about ads and in-game payments. However, it seems they are exploring new ways to make money from their gaming business. In August, Netflix expanded its games to be available on TVs, computers, and mobile devices and began testing cloud-streamed games.
