Tutorial Free: how to access Netflix video games?
To share :
Today, almost everyone has a Netflix account. But, honestly, who uses their Netflix account to play? If Netflix Gaming is a flop, it’s largely because most people don’t even know how to access this part of the VOD platform. However, Netflix has produced some nice titles. Here is a tutorial to get there.
The answer to this question will be very quick: it is impossible to access Netflix gaming elsewhere than on a tablet or smartphone. But, there is a but. There are many ways to connect your TV or PC to your tablet or smartphone. Thus, it becomes virtually possible to enjoy Netflix Gaming in a more comfortable format.
For lazy people, there is the wireless solution.
If you have an iPhone, you are surely familiar with AirPlay. With a compatible PC, Mac or TV, you can project your iPhone or iPad screen. The problem is latency. When going through AirPlay, you’re likely to experience a slight lag between when you press a key and when your character reacts to the screen. On some games, it’s too disruptive to be playable.
The equivalent of AirPlay on Android is Google Cast / Chromecast. The problem is the same, for some games the slight screen streaming lag is unbearable.
To be quieter and eliminate this diabolical latency, we strongly advise you to use an HDMI cable. There are Lightning adapters like USB-C for a handful of euros on Amazon. In a quick hookup, you’re good!
Regardless of your Netflix subscription, you have access to the platform’s video games at no additional cost, without painful microtransactions and without intrusive advertisements. Everything is free”. Some games can even be downloaded and played offline!
Play on Netflix from an Android tablet or smartphone
Do you have an Android smartphone or tablet? No need to go to the Google Play Store! It’s all right in the Netflix app. Click on the small Gaming tab, and voila. Click on the game of your choice and you can simply download it.
If you prefer to play on a separate app, that’s also possible. Simply type “Netflix games” on the Google Play Store (or the exact name of the game if you know it), and install the game. To open it, you will need your Netflix credentials.
If you are on iOS, your application does not always have the dedicated tab (some people have access to it, not all, who knows why). As a result, you often have to go through the App Store.
As for the Play Store, you only have to type “Netflix games” to see the complete list of games on the platform. There are quite a few nuggets like Hextech Mayhem which takes place in the world of League of Legends or Relic Hunters Rebels, an excellent little 2D RPG.
