Netflix has made a barrage of changes and made its UI more fun and interactive in the past few years. Before its 1997 launch, the platform was called “Kibble”. According to its first CEO, Marc Randolph, they had to test if “the dogs ate the dog food” (as he put it) before releasing the streaming platform onto the market. It’s now safe to say, the dogs didn’t just eat the dog food, they loved it.

Netflix’s exponential success has been nothing short of extraordinary. With 15% of the world’s internet traffic generated solely from this platform, the juggernaut has an unimaginable fortune to boast of. And to keep its position at the top, the streaming platform has been adding, renovating, and building on its already vast content — the most recent of those additions being Netflix Games.
New Additions to Netflix Games
Netflix has recently added Fast Laughs, Tudum, and New & Hot. The latter includes within itself sub-categories like Top 10, Everyone’s Watching, and Coming Soon which has a brilliant interface that allows the audience to preview trailers from upcoming arrivals and save the content’s launch date by clicking on the “Remind Me” bell.

Even though the launch of these games has been the talk of the town, fans still want more. Some are already asking for the launch of “Squid Game”.
