Netflix Shuts Down Its AAA Gaming Studio Without Releasing a Single Game

Netflix, the streaming giant, has closed its AAA gaming studio without releasing a single game. The studio's journey began with Netflix's desire to create original games, although it already offered games from other studios on its platform. It sought something unique, thus launching the AAA studio project.

According to "Phone arena," the studio hired several prominent figures in the industry. Netflix aimed to create a distinctive product and expand its presence in the gaming realm. However, the studio was closed for currently unknown reasons.

Reports suggested that the vast majority of Netflix's 221 million subscribers showed little interest in gaming. Despite significant investments, only 1% of users reportedly tried Netflix games, with an average of only 1.7 million daily users.

With the studio's closure, the number of employees now jobless remains unclear, although Netflix reportedly transferred some to other projects. The AAA project represented a considerable investment, yet Netflix opted to halt its development despite the costs, a decision not taken lightly, especially when prior investments are substantial.

Netflix clarified that the studio closure does not signify a complete shift away from gaming. Instead, the platform plans to continue offering smaller, mobile-friendly games instead of high-budget AAA titles.

Currently, Netflix seems more focused on integrating video games into its ecosystem through accessible and enjoyable experiences rather than developing full-scale games.
