Sega is considering launching its own Netflix-like subscription service for video games, a move which would accelerate gaming’s transition towards streaming.
There are already a number of similar services on the market – such as Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus – which see gamers pay a monthly fee for access to a range of titles rather than owning them outright.
Sega’s president Shuji Utsumi said in an interview recently that such subscription products were “very interesting”, and his firm was “evaluating some opportunities”.
“We’re thinking something – and discussing something – we cannot disclose right now,” he said.
Currently, various Sega games are available across multiple streaming services.
