Netflix is testing gamertag-style handles that users can create and publicly display when playing mobile games. Users can identify and invite other users to play games based on their handles, as well as see where they rank on leaderboards.

Netflix gave me the option to create and manage a game handle. The game handle must be unique, which Netflix will automatically check.

‘your game handle is a unique public name for playing games on Netflix,’ the in-app text reads when first creating your handle.’your profile icon and name (Emma) wo n’t be visible to others. You can change your name at anytime’.

Netflix explains that you can use game handles when inviting and playing with other members. It will also’show you where you are on leaderboards,’ and indicates that you’ll be able to check when certain users are online or offline.

Netflix started rolling out game handles in select titles last month. It’s not clear if and when Netflix plans on rolling out games.

‘we are always looking to improve our member’s experience on the service,’ said Hidaka.’we do n’t have anything else to share at this time,’ he added.

Netflix first launched games last November. A measly one percent of Netflix subscribers, or about 1.7 million users, interact with Netflix’s games on a daily basis.

Netflix aims to include a total of 50 games in its library by the end of 2022. Just added heads up!, a game popularized by the Ellen DeGeneres show.
