Netflix experiments with gamertags for its games

Netflix is trying out gamertag-style handles that users can use to create and publicly display while playing its mobile games. These usernames are public-facing and should make it easier to identify other players, see where they rank on leaderboards and even invite other players to play games based on their handles.

As with other public-facing usernames on gaming platforms, Netflix will check if the username you've created is unique. The company started to roll out game handles for select titles last month, including Into the Breach, Bowling Ballers, Heads Up!, and Mahjong Solitaire. But it's unclear when it'll come to more titles.
