Mike Verdu, a game development leader at Electronic Arts and Facebook's Oculus, has been revealed to join Netflix. Verdu is the person who led a team of developers at Oculus to create a variety of game content and eventually became Facebook's vice president.

Since it is confidential that Netflix plans to distribute the game as new content, the person who provided the information is anonymous. At the time of writing the article, the game will be distributed in 2022 and will be treated in the same way as Netflix's original drama and original movie, and no additional charge will be incurred.

With Bloomberg reporting the news, Netflix's share price rose 3.3% to $ 566 at one point.

Netflix is looking for ways to open up new markets as its growth rate in the United States is sluggish, and the move to game distribution is seen as one of these.

Netflix plans to build a game development team in the coming months, according to people familiar with the matter, and the job page has already begun recruiting 'Interactive Product Innovation Directors.'

Game content, on the other hand, isn't offered by Facebook rivals Amazon and Hulu, which could eventually lead to higher Netflix subscriptions, Bloomberg said.
