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 smartphone, you’re all set to play.
Want to start playing Netflix Games? Here’s a quick and easy guide to help you connect your device or jump right in and begin your game night.
How to play your favorite Netflix Games on your TV
It’s easy to find and start a game on your TV. Just open Netflix on your smart TV and look for the ‘Games’ section. Choose the game you want to play and select ‘Play Game’. A QR code will then appear on your TV screen when the game starts.
This QR code lets you start playing the game. Simply scan it with your phone or tablet, then follow the on-screen directions to get the game running on the main screen. That’s all there is to it!
Some games can be played on your TV, while others are just for mobile devices. Your subscription gives you access to everything, completely free of ads and with no extra costs inside the games. Next, let’s talk about using your phone as a controller.
How to connect and use your Phone as a controller
Your phone acts as the controller for all your TV games, and Netflix simplifies connecting it, though the steps differ slightly depending on whether you have an Android or iOS device.
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 any other controller.
