Popular streaming service Netflix might be looking to launch a cloud gaming service similar to Xbox Game Pass<\/a> and PlayStation now after a job listing for a Senior Software Engineer in Rendering Engineering was spotted on the company website.<\/p>\n

This comes after the platform’s successful launch of its gaming service, Netflix Games<\/a>, late last year. Since launching, the streaming service, while strictly focused on Android and iOS mobile games, has continued to expand on its gaming offerings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, this latest job listing prompts further speculation regarding the future of Netflix’s game service, specifically, whether the company is ready to take on behemoths Sony and Microsoft in the cloud gaming space.<\/p>\n

Netflix Cloud Gaming Service is currently in development<\/h2>\n

As noted by NME<\/a>, Netflix is speculated to be working on a new “cloud gaming service” after a job listing for a Senior Software Engineer in Rendering Engineering was spotted at the company. According to the listing<\/a>, Netflix is looking for a “rendering engineer to support [its] cloud gaming service.”<\/p>\n

“In this role, you will help optimize the rendering of games so we can render multiple games on our cloud gaming appliances. You will also assist with the development of SDKs to enable game developers to succeed in writing high-quality games for the Netflix cloud games ecosystem,” the listing read.<\/p>\n

Without official wording from the mammoth streaming service, Netflix’s plans to fully penetrate the gaming space are still largely premature. Still, it begs whether Netflix is expected to rival more established cloud-based game streaming services like Xbox’s Game Pass or PlayStation Now.<\/p>\n
