Netflix to Remove Most Interactive Titles by December 1
The streaming giant will keep only four interactive specials, citing a shift in focus to other technological efforts.
- Netflix will delist 20 out of its 24 interactive specials, leaving only 'Black Mirror: Bandersnatch,' 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs. the Reverend,' and two Bear Grylls titles.
- The decision marks the end of Netflix's experiment with interactive content, which began in 2017 with 'Puss in Book: Trapped in an Epic Tale.'
- Interactive specials allowed viewers to influence the storyline through choices, offering multiple endings and encouraging re-watches.
- Netflix spokesperson Chrissy Kelleher stated that the technology has become limiting as the company shifts its focus to other technological areas.
- Despite the removal of interactive specials, Netflix continues to explore gaming, including mobile titles and a game streaming beta.
