Netflix is launching a new standalone app for kids\u2019 games called Netflix Playground, the company announced<\/a> on Monday. Netflix Playground is available as part of a Netflix subscription, and doesn\u2019t have any ads or in-app purchases.<\/p>\n Netflix says the app gives children access to an \u201cever-growing\u201d library of games for kids. Netflix Playground is launching with titles featuring characters from popular kids\u2019 shows.<\/p>\n The app, which is designed for children ages eight and under, is now available in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia, the Philippines, and New Zealand. It will roll out worldwide on April 28. The app is available on both iOS<\/a> and Android<\/a>.<\/p>\n It can be accessed offline without a mobile or Wi-Fi connection, which the company says makes it the \u201cperfect companion for long airplane rides or grocery trips.\u201d<\/p>\n For example, one game is titled \u201cPlaytime With Peppa Pig,\u201d and sees players \u201cjump into Peppa\u2019s world with a collection of playful activities.\u201d There\u2019s also a \u201cSesame Street\u201d game where players practice matching with memory cards or coordination with connect-the-dots. Other titles include \u201cLet\u2019s Color,\u201d \u201cStorybots,\u201d \u201cBad Dinosaurs,\u201d and more. <\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re building a world where kids can not only watch their favorite stories, they can step inside them and interact with their favorite characters,\u201d said John Derderian, Netflix Vice President of Animation Series + Kids & Family TV, in a press release<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019re creating a seamless destination for discovery, learning, and play. Whether it\u2019s reuniting with Hank and the \u2018Trash Truck\u2019 crew for new adventures or making a smoothie with \u2018Peppa Pig,\u2019 watching and playing on Netflix can be the fun and easiest part of every family\u2019s day.\u201d<\/p>\n Netflix first launched games in 2021 and had ambitious plans<\/a> for the space, but has since dialed them back after its titles failed to gain traction. The streaming giant has also shut down several video game studios like Boss Fight<\/a>, Spry Fox<\/a>, and an AAA studio<\/a>. <\/p>\n Techcrunch event<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSan Francisco, CA<\/span> Late last year, Netflix forayed into TV gaming<\/a> with a slate of new party titles meant to be played in groups, including TV versions of Tetris and Pictionary. The company has also said it will prioritize cloud gaming<\/a>, but has noted that it\u2019s still in the early stages of these plans. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
