“These previews launch globally today and will become available on eligible devices over the next few weeks. They will be available on Netflix enabled devices, which includes the majority of game consoles and Roku devices, with smart TVs and others getting updated in the coming months.”

Netflix is in a journey to revamp the user experience on its app. It was only last week that the company introduced offline viewing of some of its titles. This was beneficial to individuals who might not have internet connection installed in their premises. They could simply download the movies or titles they would like to watch when they are connected to free Wi-Fi connection. Netflix even went ahead to allow users to choose whether they would like to download their titles in either Standard or Higher video quality. This is especially useful to individuals who are watchful of their data bundles.
