“Oxenfree” isn’t a TV show or a movie; it’s a mobile phone game that may be played for hours. It’s also one of 35 free games accessible to Netflix customers via the Netflix mobile app. The streaming behemoth intends to increase that number to around 50 by the end of the year.
“Games symbolise a synthesis of creativity and technology, which makes them a natural next step for Netflix, a firm that is also balanced between creativity and technology, art and science,” said Mike Verdu, Netflix’s vice president of games who formerly worked for Facebook and Electronic Arts. “We aim to provide our (223 million) members with the best entertainment experiences possible, which includes fantastic games.”
