· 3 pulledNetflix will make its biggest push into the gaming industry so far with the debut of "FIFA World Cup Launch Edition" June 11.
"FIFA World Cup" is described as a "streamlined football simulation game" that only requires having Netflix queued up on your TV and a phone to act as your controller.
Essentially, it's meant to be far more beginner-friendly than the "FIFA" games produced throughout FIFA's long-running, now-ended partnership with game publishing giant Electronic Arts.
