This year’s FIFA World Cup is kicking off on June 11th. And so is Netflix’s latest title, called FIFA World Cup: Launch Edition. This one is for the big screens, just like the company’s last few titles that focus on multiplayer and party titles.
FIFA World Cup: Launch Edition gets players onto the pitch as quickly as possible
The focus is on fast matches, simple controls, and easy multiplayer sessions. Your TV becomes the stadium while your phone works as the controller. You launch the game from the Games tab on your TV and start passing, shooting, and playing within moments.
The title includes the full tournament lineup. You can select any of the 48 national teams taking part in the competition, play in all 16 stadiums, and take control of any of the 1,248 players. Those venues are spread across the tournament’s host nations: the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
Matches in FIFA World Cup: Launch Edition support up to four players. The game is being developed and published by Delphi Interactive. Netflix describes this first version as the Launch Edition, which essentially serves as the starting point for the project.
Before the global launch, Netflix is running limited testing
An initial test began on June 4th in Brazil and Germany. The wider release will be available in the United States, Canada, the UK, France, Italy, Mexico, Spain, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, South Africa, Sweden, and Switzerland.
Netflix Games on TV are currently supported in 20 countries. The list includes the US, Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Spain, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, and Brazil.
FIFA World Cup: Launch Edition is available for every Netflix membership plan at no extra charge. Head over to the Google Play Store to grab the app.
