Meanwhile, the competition has worked to offer other types of services on their machines. Both Xbox One and PS4 and their recently launched successors, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PS5, have incorporated the Netflix application from day one, as well as applications from other services such as Disney Plus or Amazon Prime.

Netflix, for its part, has not been oblivious to video games. Not surprisingly, it has partnered with several video game companies to produce content based on sagas such as Resident Evil, Dragon’s Dogma, The Division, Assassin’s Creed, Cuphead or Cyberpunk 2077. Another of the sagas that has triumphed on the platform is The Witcher, the series starring Henry Cavill. However, in this case it is not based on the CD Projekt RED video game, but on the literary work of its original author, Andrzej Sapkowski.

Nintendo Switch went on sale in 2017 and has become one of the best-performing machines on the market.
