Less than 1% of Netflix subscribers have engaged with its new video game section
While Netflix has made a massive push in the last year to be more involved in the gaming scene, recent data reveals that not even 1% of Netflix users have taken the time to play through the video games on offer.
Netflixhas shown that they are committed to investing in the world of games. Many of their biggest shows, such asThe WitcherandArcane, are based on popular video game franchises. And while their TV adaptations of games have proven extremely successful, the actual video games Netflix have been developing is a very different story.
Netflix first began to hone in on its gaming content in November of 2021. During this time, the streaming service launched five original games, including multipleStranger Thingstitles.

Recently, the#cancelnetflixhashtag was trending on Twitter following the platform’s decision tocancel their LGBTQ+ vampire show First Kill. With many viewers moving away from the streaming service and outwardly expressing their disappointment with cancellations, growing their game’s section will be an even tougher feat.
For now, though, time will tell if Netflix will be able to grow its gaming influence or if users will continue to ignore this content.
