History

Historical Context

Netflix’s interactive film Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, commissioned in March 2018 and released on 28 December 2018, showed that streaming platforms could embed viewer choice into narrative. The experiment helped revive the anthology format and inspired cross-media deals, such as Rockstar Games’ 2026 partnership with Netflix announced by VP Brandon Riegg to stream an extended look at GTA VI. This reflects a broader trend of integrated game-streaming releases.
