Netflix’s Beta Test: Bringing Video Games to PC, Mac, and TV

Netflix is running a limited beta test in Canada and the UK to explore the possibility of bringing video games to more platforms. Currently, all paying Netflix members have free access to a range of video games, but they are only playable on mobile devices. However, select members in Canada and the UK can now try playing games such as Oxenfree and Molehew’s Mining Adventure on their TVs through a limited beta test. This beta test aims to evaluate Netflix’s game streaming technology and controller, which in this case, is a mobile phone.

Baldur's Gate 3 improvements patch PC fixes PS5 RPG Video Games Xbox Series X|S
PS5 players will benefit from Baldur’s Gate 3’s PC fixes

A developer from Larian Studios has confirmed that Baldur’s Gate 3’s PS5 release will include all of the patches and fixes enjoyed by the PC version. In a Tweet from Larian’s director of publishing Michael Douse, it was confirmed that the PS5 version of Baldur’s Gate 3 will include all of the patches and fixes we’ve seen for the PC version so far. The PS5 version of the game is set to release September 6, so PlayStation users will have a month’s worth of patches and improvements to enjoy once the game finally reaches Sony’s console. Speaking on the topic, Douse stated unambiguously that “all of the improvements and fixes to the game will be reflected in the PlayStation 5 version and beyond.” This also bodes well for those waiting for a release on Xbox Series X|S which, though lacking a concrete release date, remains very much on the cards for Baldur’s Gate 3 once the developers overcome certain technical hurdles.
