Game developer Boss Fight Entertainment joins Netflix

Netflix has announced that video game development company Boss Fight Entertainment is joining the team. Since the time Netflix has launched mobile games, they have been expanding their games catalog bit by bit and built out their in-house creative development, and the latest acquisition will further strengthen the team.

Netflix VP of Game Studios Amir Rahimi shared in the official blog post, “Boss Fight Entertainment was founded in 2013 by CEO David Rippy, CCO Bill Jackson, and COO Scott Winsett, whose work I’ve long admired. This studio’s extensive experience building hit games across genres will help accelerate our ability to provide Netflix members with great games wherever they want to play them.”

Boss Fight Entertainment founders shared, “Boss Fight’s mission is to bring simple, beautiful, and fun game experiences to our players wherever they want to play. Netflix’s commitment to offer ad-free games as part of members’ subscriptions enables game developers like us to focus on creating delightful game play without worrying about monetisation. We couldn’t be more excited to join Netflix at this early stage as we continue doing what we love to do while helping to shape the future of games on Netflix together.”

Headquartered in Allen, Texas, the Boss Fight Entertainment team will continue to operate out of their current studios in Allen (Dallas), Austin, and Seattle, which will also enable Netflix to tap into great creative talent beyond California.   

Since Stranger Things-themed titles and other casual games, Netflix has rolled out several other titles, including Arcanium: Rise of Akhan, Asphalt Xtreme, Bowling Ballers, Card Blast,Dominoes Café, Dungeon Dwarves,Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story,Knittens, Krispee Street, Shooting Hoops, Teeter (Up) and Wonderputt Forever. Few days back this week, the company expanded its lineup and introduced two new games titled Shatter Remastered and This Is A True Story

Rahimi further shared, “We are still in the early days of building great game experiences as part of your Netflix membership. Through partnerships with developers around the world, hiring top talent, and acquisitions like this, we hope to build a world-class games studio capable of bringing a wide variety of delightful and deeply engaging original games – with no ads and no in-app purchases – to our hundreds of millions of members around the world.”
