NETFLIX has announced big changes are coming to one of its often-forgotten free perks.
And it’s sure to delight kids and adults alike looking for something more than the latest TV or movies.

Netflix is planning to take its gaming operation to the next level and there are some major names involved.
The streaming giant first started offering games back in 2021 and there have been some huge titles available at no extra cost.
These include GTA and Football Manager, as well as exclusive games based on some of Netflix’s biggest shows.
But now the company is planning to introduce multiplayer games too.
Netflix bosses say it’ll be “as easy as streaming a show on a Friday night”.
All you need is your TV and a mobile, which you can use as a controller.
Among the first titles apart of it is LEGO Party! – which costs about £39 if you buy for an existing games console like the Nintendo Switch or PS5.
Others include Pictionary: Game Night, Boggle Party, Tetris Time Warp and Party Crashers: Fool Your Friends.
Netflix hasn’t confirmed when the multiplayer games will launch.
But in an announcement it said “this holiday season” suggesting it’ll be some time around Christmas.
