Why Spotify and Netflix Are Chasing Gaming Revenue
from The Streaming Tech Podcast with Fexingo: Netflix, Spotify, and Media Technology · host Fexingo
In this episode of The Streaming Tech Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore the growing intersection of streaming and gaming. With Spotify up over 18% in the past five days and Netflix sitting at $87, both companies are quietly building gaming libraries. Lucas breaks down how Spotify's recent gaming moves mirror Netflix's playbook, and why audio-first gaming could be the next big bet. He references Spotify's job listings for game-experience designers and its 'Sound of Gaming' playlist ecosystem, which now sees over 2 billion minutes monthly. Luna questions whether gaming actually moves the needle for streaming giants, pointing to Netflix's modest game engagement figures. They discuss the strategic logic: higher engagement, lower churn, and a hedge against rising content costs. This episode offers a clear, data-backed look at why streaming platforms are gaming up. #StreamingTech #Gaming #Netflix #Spotify #MusicStreaming #VideoGames #Engagement #Churn #Podcast #TechStrategy #AudioGaming #SoundOfGaming #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #StreamingWars #GamingRevenue Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
