Netflix Acquires Award-Winning Independent Studio Behind Hits Like Triple Town and Alphabear in Spry Fox

Streaming giants Netflix seems to be the newest players in the crowded gaming scene, which includes fierce competition from the like of Xbox, PlayStation and more.

With the platform already succeeding in building a user base with video streaming, Netflix has been slowly building up its portfolio of titles through acquisitions and developments of gaming studios.

Last month, the company announced announced its plans to build its own gaming studio in Helsinki, Finland with former Zynga and EA executive Marko Lastikka acting as the head.

Yesterday, Netflix further expanded its library with the purchase of award-winning independent studio, Spry Fox. The announcement comes around a year since Netflix first began publishing games for users to try out through its service.

Compared to AAA title-developing studios, Spry Fox maintains its reputation as one of the most well-known independent studios with hits like Triple Town, Alphabear and Cozy Grove.

In a Netflix press release, Spry Fox co-founder Daniel Cook shared his excitement for the future of the company he developed from the ground up, as Netflix will surely provide a major boost to the user base of its games.

Following the acquisition, Spry Fox will add variety to Netflix’s games library, which is already filled with popular releases like Oxenfree and more, and it will be interesting to see how the company’s latest acquisitions fare in the near future.
