Netflix might soon jump into the video game space as the streaming platform behind popular shows like Stranger Things and Bridgertonwill reportedly add a new gaming feature. A recent datamine also suggests that a partnership with PlayStation could also happen to somehow bring some of PlayStation's major brands to Netflix.
As VGT reported, dataminer Steve Moser appears to have found PlayStation brand imagery and content in the Netflix app code. Over on Twitter, Moser shared the information, including images of both the Ghost of Tushima box art as well as PS5 controllers. It's still unclear exactly what this means for the streaming giant, but if there's a partnership between PlayStation and Netflix, we could see Ghost of Tsushima in the streaming platform in some way.
According to Moser, Netflix's gaming section currently has the codename 'Shark', and the PlayStation IP placement within that suggests a partership. This wouldn't be Netflix and Sony's first major deal, as both companies agreed a deal earlier this year that brings films from Sony Pictures Entertainment to Netflix first after their theatrical run.
It's not surprising to see that Netflix is jumping into the gaming space. It was recently reported that the company hired ex-EA and Facebook Gaming Executive to lead a gaming division. Although Netflix hasn't released a full videogame title, the company has previously released an interactive story through Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, which gives viewers control on where the story will go.
