Netflix has acquired🐷 its third game development studio in six months.

Boss Fight Entertainment - which describes itself as "an independent game development studio in Texas" - is the streaming giant's third game-flavored acquisition in just six months and follows the $74 million takeover of Finnish mobile developer 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Next Games earlier this month, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Oxenfree 2 developer Night School Studio, which Netflix added to its portfolio in 2021.&ꦗnbsp;

"Netflix's commitment to offer ad-free games as part of members' subscriptions enables game developers like us to focus on creating delightful gameplay without worrying about monetization. We couldn't be more excited to join Netflix at this early stage as we continue doing what we love to do while helping to shape the future of games 💝on Netflix together."

"We're still in the early days of building great game experiences as part of your Netflix membership," added Amir Rahimi, Netflix's VP of game꧃ studios. "Through partnerships with developers around the world, hiring top talent, and acquisitions like this, we hope to build a world-class games studio capable of bringing a wide variety of delightful and deeply engaging original games - with no ads and no in-app purchases - to our hundreds of millions of members around the world."

Netflix confirmed its interest in video games last July, and revealed it will ꦚ"primarily" focus on mo💝bile experiences. 

"We view gaming as another new content category for us, similar to our expansion into ori🔥ginal films, animation, and unscripted TV. Games will be included in members' Netflix subscription at no ad💎ditional cost similar to films and series," stated a letter to investors at the time.

"Initially, we'll be primarily focused on games for mobile devices. We're excited as ever about our movies and TV series offering and we expect a long runway of increasing investment and growth across all of our existing conte𒀰nt categories, but since we are nearly a decade into our push into original programming, we think the time is right to learn more about how our members value games."
