Amazon Prime Video, HBO Max, and others have chipped away at the market once ruled by Netflix. To address the slowdown in growth, Netflix is looking at another source of potential revenue: cloud gaming service.

While these titles don't compare to Steam, Epic, or Xbox Game Pass, it's the start of the streaming giant's foray into the gaming industry. More importantly, many recent job postings found on the company's website and LinkedIn suggest that it's preparing to make a major play on cloud gaming.
