How to Watch Netflix on Xbox Online/Offline

Part 1. Can You Watch Netflix on Xbox Series/One/360

The short answer is yes! Netflix is compatible with Xbox consoles, including Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. This means you can easily transform your gaming setup into an all-in-one home entertainment system.

However, there are a few requirements to ensure everything works smoothly:

◼ Xbox Live Account: While Xbox Live Gold is no longer required, you will need a free Xbox Live account to access the Xbox Store and the Netflix app.
◼ Stable Internet Connection: Netflix doesn't offer offline mode on Xbox officially, so a fast/stable internet connection is essential for uninterrupted streaming.

Step 2. Press the Guide button on your controller, navigate to the Apps or tv & movies section on the screen, and select Netflix.
