[VERGE] Netflix’s new virtual game controller iOS app hints at TV gaming
It seems Netflix may let you play its games on TVs soon.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The app’s description says that you’ll be able to use it to play Netflix games on your TV.
If you download and launch the app, it asks you to choose a game on your TV and follow directions to connect, which currently does not do anything.
The app’s splash screen also points out that “Netflix Games on TV are in beta” and that “some devices may not be supported at this time.”
Netflix has been on a roll in releasing new games its subscribers can play on their phones — in just the past few months, Netflix has launched games like Laya’s Horizon, World of Goo Remastered, and the spooky Oxenfree II: Lost Signals — so it makes sense that it would try and get them working on the same big screen its subscribers use to watch movies and shows.
Netflix hasn’t exactly been shy about hinting in the direction of games on TV.
At the moment, the game controller app is not available in the Google Play Store.
