Netflix quietly releases iOS controller app so you can play its games on a TV - but it doesn't actually work yet
with zero fanfare, and zero official word from Netflix, earlier this week. Thankfully, there's little mystery surrounding its purpose; the app comes with a full description explaining,"Play games on your TV with the Netflix Game Controller. This Game Controller app pairs with your TV and allows you to play games on Netflix using your phone or mobile device."
Netflix's description also clearly notes the feature is"coming soon", and indeed, downloading the app and firing it up doesn't do much at all. Itoffer up a message informing users,"To begin, choose a game on your TV and follow the directions to connect", but with no matching functionally currently built into the main Netflix app, that's as far as things go.
ZacBobisKing, the only user to have so far left an App Store review for the Netflix Game Controller in the UK, entirely reasonably declares the app to be"useless" in its current state, leaving it a furious single star. I don't think anyone would disagree. Oxenfree 2 can be played as part of a Netflix subscription, or is available to purchase on other platforms.
There is, however, one additional glimpse at how the Netflix Game Controller will likely function when the time is right, courtesy of a single App Store screenshot. It displays a virtual gamepad set-up, featuring a colour scheme vaguely reminiscent of a GameCube controller, that'll presumably be the default layout for those wishing to greasily thumb their way through the likes of Oxenfree 2, Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon, and Raji: An Ancient Epic using their phone.
