Growth in games
The arrival and success of the GTA franchise clearly helped boost Netflix’s gaming division. In 2022, only 1% of the streaming platform’s users were using the gaming function.
Even with the low numbers, the company continued to invest in games, including award-winning productions such as Terra Nil, Immortality, Spiritfarer and Oxenfree. However, it was only with the arrival of the Grand Theft Auto series that the games division really began to take off.
