The company’s updated mobile interface, which features a vertical “Clips” feed for bite-sized discovery, arrives in Japan and South Korea this July. This expansion follows initial launches in Australia, India, and the Philippines.

Netflix targets Asian growth with mobile redesign and kids gaming
Netflix is doubling down on its Asia-Pacific strategy, pushing a mobile app redesign into Japan and South Korea while expanding its kids-focused gaming hub. By integrating short-form video feeds and interactive content tied to hit animated films, the platform aims to capture fragmented viewing time and increase family engagement.
Gaming remains a core pillar of the platform's retention strategy. Netflix Playground is gaining a new segment centered on the animated musical KPop Demon Hunters. The hub will feature six mini-games, leveraging the popularity of a film that logged 518 million views in its first six months. By bringing characters into interactive play, Netflix is betting that family audiences will deepen their commitment to the ecosystem beyond traditional streaming.
