\nSubstantiating a Bloomberg report<\/a> from earlier this year, Netflix has quietly released a new “game controller” app for iOS intended to make it possible for subscribers to play its games on their TV. The major wrinkle in all this, however, is that it currently doesn’t actually do anything.\n<\/p>\n

\nAs spotted by TechCrunch<\/a>, the Netflix Game Controller app (as it’s official known) slipped onto the iOS App Store<\/a> with zero fanfare, and zero official word from Netflix, earlier this week. Thankfully, there’s little mystery surrounding its purpose; the app comes with a full description explaining, “Play games on your TV with the Netflix Game Controller. This Game Controller app pairs with your TV and allows you to play games on Netflix using your phone or mobile device.”\n<\/p>\n

\nNetflix’s description also clearly notes the feature is “coming soon”, and indeed, downloading the app and firing it up doesn’t do much at all. It does<\/em> offer up a message informing users, “To begin, choose a game on your TV and follow the directions to connect”, but with no matching functionally currently built into the main Netflix app, that’s as far as things go.\n<\/p>\n
