- Co-CEO Greg Peters announced TV-playable games at Bloomberg Screentime, marking Netflix’s first move beyond mobile for its games catalog.
- Initial slate includes LEGO Party!, Boggle Party, Pictionary: Game Night, Tetris Time Warp, and Party Crashers: Fool Your Friends.
- Players launch titles from the Netflix TV app and pair phones as controllers by scanning a QR code; compatible smart TVs and devices like Roku and Fire TV are supported.
- The rollout begins on select TVs in countries including the US, Canada, the UK, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, and others, with broader availability targeted over the holidays.
