Netflix has quietly released a game controller in Apple's App Store,download video sex suster gereja confirming rumours that the streaming service may soon let you play games on your TV.
First spotted by TechCrunch, the new Netflix Game Controller app seems fairly barebones at the moment. Screenshots on its App Store show off a minimalist controller layout on a plain black background, featuring a virtual thumbstick on the left and four multicoloured buttons on the right. Said buttons use the same XYAB labelling used on Xbox and Nintendo Switch controllers, but are resized and rearranged into a formation that somewhat resembles a paw print.

The company has been exploring cloud gaming for some time now, though this doesn't mean it's about to turn into the next Xbox Games Pass.
