As we wrote earlier this month, the VOD giant sees potential in expanding its offer, previously limited to movies and TV series. Three weeks ago we heard about the acquisition of Finnish studio Next Games. This transaction was to cost Netflix about $50 million. This time the financial details were not made public.

The new studio purchased by Netflix has only one title to its credit - Dungeon Boss. It's a fantasy strategy RPG. The player defeats subsequent opponents standing on the way to the eponymous boss. So far, the title has been downloaded 5 million times in Play Store.

So far, there are 16 games available in Netflix's mobile app. With two new developer studios under the company's belt, we can expect the catalog to expand regularly in the future.
