Why Netflix wants to be a gaming app

Recode Daily

About this episode

Netflix is betting on gaming to be its next big offering. The company saw lackluster growth as the world began to come out of the pandemic lockdown, so now it’s hoping a free library of video games will be enough to get users to stick around — and to bring in new ones. Recode senior correspondent Peter Kafka (@pkafka) talks with Rani Molla about the company’s latest venture. References:  Read Peter’s story here.  Enjoyed this episode?
