Netflix into gaming

Netflix has entered the high-growth gaming market with the acquisition of an independent games developer, Night School Studios. The company was founded in 2014 with its best known gaming title, Oxenfree, launched in 2016. It now has a staff of 21. Night

Netflix was attracted to Night School by the storytelling production values in its gaming product. The streamer now aims to build a gaming library alongside its TV and film offering. At this stage, there will apparently be no additional charge to the Netflix subscription for access to gaming content.
