CTOnews.com, August 15 (Xinhua)-- Netflix recently launched an app called "Game Controller" on iPhone and iPad, which is an important step in its foray into cloud games. Today, the company revealed more about how to use the app and test plans in its blog post.

Netflix said it would conduct limited testing among some TV users in Canada and the UK and through supported browsers on Netflix.com 's website on PC and Mac in the coming weeks. On TV, you can play games through the "Game Controller" app on your phone, and PC and Mac users can use the keyboard and mouse to play games on Netflix.com. Netflix added that this limited test is intended to test the game streaming technology and controller of the game platform before it is officially launched.

Here is a list of Netflix-compatible smart TV platforms:

Amazon Fire TV streaming media player

Chromecast with Google TV

LG TV

Nvidia Shield TV

Roku equipment and TV

Samsung smart TV

Wal-Mart ONN

CTOnews.com noted that Apple's Apple TV did not appear on the list because of Apple's hostile policy towards cloud games. Apple must protect its App Store revenue stream by allowing cloud gaming apps to appear on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, threatening App Store's cash cow: mobile gaming transactions.
