Netflix is seeking an opportunity to bring a “higher-end” Grand Theft Auto spin-off to the subscription service, according to a recent report.
The Wall Street Journal stated that it spoke to sources familiar with Netflix’s strategy who have claimed that the company has been in talks with Take-Two Interactive.
While the discussions are seemingly still ongoing, the idea is to “release a game within the popular action-adventure series Grand Theft Auto… through a licensing deal”.
There are also intentions to develop and launch games inspired by Black Mirror, Extraction, Squid Game and Wednesday, continued The Wall Street Journal‘s sources.
In order to expand into gaming, Netflix has acquired studios like Boss Fight Entertainment, Next Games, and Spry Fox in the last few years. This is alongside the opening of two new gaming studios in California and Finland in 2022.
