I have a 1st generation ipod touch running ios 3.1.3. I want to run netflix on it but when I try to install from itunes I get the message "The app "Netflix" was not installed on the IPOD because it requires a newer version of IPOD software." I have read from goggling this issue that netflix streaming on the 1st gen ipod is possible. What am I doing wrong? Or is this not possible at all?

I was running netflix on an itouch first generation ios 3.1.3 untill the glich with the app store. The newest update will not run on it now and I lost the original version when I reset the Itouch thinking the problem was on my end. I am looking for an archived app somewhere. You'd think apple would support people who have older devices by keeping the older versions that were compatable archived and available. If I find one I will post the link to the file here.

I bought 2 iPod touch 1st Gen's for my little kids for christmas. The only reason I bought them was so the kids could watch netflix on them. So I get them home Nov 20th 2011 and download netflix and start streaming music its great! Then on christmas morning there is an update for the netflix app and bam now my kids can't watch netflix WTH Apple and Netflix this is rediculous! I can't believe you just kill support for a device without mentioning it in your blog Netflix or on your community pages Apple! I am so mad right now!

That's completely up to Netflix. Apple is not involved; they can't decide for Netflix what features will and will not be supported, what hardware requirements the developer decides will be required, and can't make announcements for any developer; that's the developer's responsibility and perogative.

The 1st-gen iPod touch was discontinued well over three years ago, and has significantly lower performance than current iPods. So the lack of support for those older devices and versions of iOS in new versions of any app is not at all surprising.

If you had said it's "incompatible" instead of "cannot handle it" or specified the version of the Netflix, perhaps the new Netflix app is so incredible, or rather it "does so much" MORE, you might be within the realm of having some useful input, but the following:

Sorry, Michael, but there's nothing more anyone can say. The current version of Netflix's app requires iOS 4, which cannot run on the first-generation iPod touch. If you didn't keep a backup copy of the old version of the Netflix app, there's nothing you can do since that old version has been replaced.

The core gameplay of Hades is one of the best examples of one more run" in modern times. It never gets old as you slowly progress through the levels, working your way further into the game, defeating new bosses, meeting more NPCs, getting permanent upgrades, and learning more about the world and narrative as you understand the ins and outs of survival in the dangerous levels.

When it comes to roguelikes, you can have the most varied enemies, bosses, and the best visuals, but what sets Hades apart from the rest of the genre even more, is its slick fast-paced gameplay while dungeon crawling. Weapons, upgrades, strategizing on the go for how to build your character for that run, and more all play a part in how far you will reach.

I have zero complaints with the actual game on PC and modern consoles, and basically consider it perfect. It even has an accessibility mode that gives you a slight health boost on each death to make your progression easier through multiple runs. But how does it feel and look on mobile? I know the team has mentioned things like 60fps gameplay, customizable controls, controller support, and an uncompromised experience, but I needed to see it for myself.

I knew Hades would be great with a controller, but I specifically focused on playing it with touch controls. As with many games I cover, I found myself enjoying it with touch on the iPhone, but preferring a physical controller wirelessly on iPad. I used my Xbox Series X wireless controller and the 8BitDo I use to test and both worked perfectly. The game displays Xbox button prompts for both. With touch controls, I was surprised at how good they felt on iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 14 Plus. I recommend resizing the interaction button though because the default is a bit too small.

Hades does have cloud saves on Netflix and I tested this over 12 times back and forth while playing Hades on my iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 14 Plus, and iPad Pro. I only had one issue where there was a save conflict popup that got resolved by selecting the correct data. The syncing worked flawlessly outside that. I am disappointed to not be able to bring my Steam and Switch saves over since I play with syncing on both of those. Hopefully this can be considered for the future.

When it comes to Hades on PS5 and Xbox Series X, it has 4K 60fps support and a decent DualSense implementation. On Xbox it supported Quick Resume and had save syncing with the Windows version (non Steam) making it a good option for those who use that store. I ended up playing a lot more Hades on Xbox Series X with Quick Resume support though. None of them having cross save with Switch or Steam was disappointing.

As with other Netflix or Apple Arcade game reviews, the big caveat to the recommendation is that you need an active subscription to play the game in question. Just like with the GTA Trilogy, Hades is a killer app for Netflix, and one that is likely going to push people to subscribe to the service.

If you thought binge-watching was the pinnacle of your Netflix experience, think again. Now, you can dive into interactive gaming fun without leaving your favorite streaming platform. Are you ready to shake up your couch experience?

Netflix cloud gaming is currently in beta on TV and web browsers for only a limited amount of users in the US, Canada, and the United Kingdom. If you see a games section while using Netflix on your TV or web browser at Netflix.com, it means your account is in the beta, and your device meets the required hardware specs.

To play Netflix games on your mobile device, start by ensuring your device meets the requirements: an Android phone or tablet running 8.0 or later, or an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 15 or later. Make sure you have a current Netflix subscription, an internet connection for downloading, and sufficient storage space.

For playing Netflix games on a web browser, simply log in to Netflix via your preferred browser, and the games should be accessible through the games row on the home screen. You'll need a computer with a mouse or trackpad and a keyboard to play.

To play Netflix games on your TV, ensure your TV app is up-to-date. Open Netflix, find the games row on the home screen, select the desired game, and click to play.

You'll need a mobile device to use as a game controller, using the N-Controller app on iPhone or iPad or the Netflix App on Android. Other controllers are not supported currently. Connect your device by scanning the QR code that appears after clicking "Play Game."

Chances are, you have no idea that your Netflix subscription includes access to great mobile games at no additional cost. Since November 2021, Netflix has been adding free mobile games to its service, but hardly anyone seems aware. And best of all? The games have no adverts or in-app purchases.

If you have a Netflix subscription, you have access to over 50 games playable on mobile devices (Android phones and tablets, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch). Though the quality varies, there are plenty of excellent Netflix mobile games across a variety of genres, and the library is ever-evolving.

Some of the games are Netflix exclusives and only available on mobile, like Valiant Hearts: Coming Home and Nailed It! Baking Bash. Others, like Oxenfree and Kentucky Route Zero, while accessible only to Netflix members on mobile, can also be purchased on other platforms like PC.

Apart from a few exceptions like the pixelated adventure Stranger Things: 1984, most of these games have no relevance to Netflix shows or movies, so you don't need any prior experience to jump in and enjoy yourself.

If you have an active Netflix membership, on any tier, you can play these games for free. They have no adverts, in-app purchases, or any additional cost. All of them are available in English, with wide support for other languages.

You must be running Android 8.0 or later, or iOS/iPadOS 15 or later, and some games may not be available if your device's hardware isn't up to snuff. You also need enough storage space to install the games.

Everyone who has a Netflix profile on your account can play the games, across multiple devices. However, none of the games are available on Netflix's child profiles. If you protect your adult Netflix profile with a PIN, that same number is required to launch any of the games from outside the Netflix app. A game may also not appear if its maturing rating is higher than the maturity setting of the Netflix profile.

When you launch a game, you must select a profile to tie your progress to. If you reach your device limit, Netflix warns you and lets you remove a device. You can also manage the active devices from your Netflix account at any time.

To begin, launch the Netflix app on your mobile device. On Android, tap Games from the bottom menu. Alternatively, or if you're using iOS, scroll down the Home feed until you find the Netflix Games row. It will be titled Mobile Games or similar.

If you want to play the game, tap Get game. This redirects you to the Google Play Store (Android) or App Store (iOS) where you can download the game. You can also find the games directly through your device's app store, without using the Netflix app; search for the game's title or for "Netflix games".
