Netflix has bought video game creator Night School Studio and rolled out five mobile gaming titles in select European markets, the company said on Sept 28, as it looks to diversify revenue sources amid intensifying competition in the streaming space.

Night School Studio, the company’s first gaming studio purchase, is best known for its debut game, Oxenfree, a supernatural teen thriller with an eerie soundtrack.
