The latest addition to Netflix's game development portfolio is an internal studio in its home state of California. The as-of-yet-nameless team will be led by Chacko Sonny, best known as the executive producer of Blizzard's hit competitive FPS Overwatch. There's been no word on the studio's immediate agenda, but overall, Netflix is currently developing 14 first-party titles and has another 41 in the works in collaboration with external developers, Verdu said. Finally, the executive revealed that the entertainment conglomerate is now "seriously exploring a cloud gaming offering." Such a service wouldn't be dissimilar to Google's recently axed Stadia platform, with one crucial difference: Netflix wouldn't be looking to compete with console and PC gaming, according to the executive.
