Netflix is expanding its gaming options, and now many games can be played right on your TV – no console or controller needed! If you have a Netflix subscription, a smart TV, and your phone, you’re all set.
Want to start playing Netflix Games on your phone? Here’s a quick and easy guide to help you get set up and start playing right away.
How to play Netflix Games on your TV
It’s easy to find and launch games on your TV. Just open Netflix on your smart TV and look for the “Games” section. Choose any game you like and select “Play Game.” A QR code will then appear on your TV screen as the game starts up.
This QR code lets you start playing the game. Simply scan it with your phone or tablet, and follow the on-screen directions to launch the game on the main screen. That’s all the setup you need!
Some games can be played on your TV, and others are just for mobile devices. Your subscription gives you access to everything, completely ad-free and without any extra costs within the games. Let’s talk about how to use your phone as a controller now.
How to connect and use your Phone as a controller
Your phone acts as the controller for games on your TV, and Netflix makes it simple to connect – though the steps vary slightly depending on whether you have an Android or iPhone.
On Android
- Pick a game on your TV and select Play Game.
- Open your phone’s camera and scan the QR code shown on the TV.
- Tap the link that appears and install Netflix if needed.
- Scan the QR code again once the app opens.
- Your phone will connect to the TV, and you can start playing.
On iPhone or iPad
- Select a game and press Play Game.
- Scan the QR code using your device’s camera.
- A Netflix controller pop-up will appear, so tap it.
- Your phone will pair instantly, and the game will start.
Once connected, your phone functions as a standard controller, allowing you to play games by tapping, swiping, or tilting – just like with a traditional gamepad.
