Furthermore, multiple users can play games on multiple devices and if the device limit exceeds, Netflix will let the user know. 

Its move into gaming was announced in July, as the company faced a sharp slowdown in new customers after years of rapid expansion, a pandemic-fueled boom in 2020.

To prevent children from mature or unnecessary content, Netflix also allows adults or parents to set a PIN that averts kids from accessing adult profiles which will be the same in the case of games where the security PIN will be needed.
