Netflix’s Gaming Hogwarts Legacy 2 Deal
Netflix is making its boldest move yet into the gaming world, and it could have major implications for the future of the Harry Potter franchise in gaming. The streaming giant’s latest deal to bring a major title like Red Dead Redemption to its platform signals a serious commitment that makes its rumored bid for Hogwarts Legacy 2 seem more plausible than ever.
The evidence of this intensified strategy came with the announcement that Red Dead Redemption will be available on mobile devices for Netflix subscribers on December 2. Securing a blockbuster, critically acclaimed title from a publisher like Rockstar Games is a significant coup. It demonstrates Netflix’s willingness to invest heavily in high-profile gaming IP to attract and retain subscribers, moving far beyond smaller mobile titles.
This aggressive expansion directly fuels speculation around Hogwarts Legacy 2. Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is currently exploring the sale of its assets, and Netflix has already been identified as a frontrunner interested in its streaming rights. Netflix’s successful deal for Red Dead Redemption proves it has the capital and the ambition to compete for the biggest properties in entertainment, including the Wizarding World.
However, the path is not without obstacles. Netflix will face stiff competition from other industry giants like Comcast in any auction for WBD’s assets. Furthermore, the planned integration between Legacy 2 and the upcoming HBO Harry Potter series adds a layer of complexity, as the game and show were being developed to have narrative connections.
