The official Netflix application has received a new round of improvements on Windows 8, so those of you who have already installed Microsoft’s modern operating system and are running this program should check for new versions in the store.

At this point, it’s not yet clear what’s new in this build, but given the fact that it’s just a minor release, it most likely brings updates and fixes supposed to improve performance and reliability.

The feature lineup is unchanged and includes options to search for titles and watch them on your device, log in with your Netflix account, rate shows and share them with friends and browse a large collection of TV shows, episodes, movies, and other exclusive content.

“Netflix is the world’s leading subscription service for watching TV episodes and movies. Get the free app as a part of your Netflix membership and you can instantly watch thousands of TV episodes & movies. If you are not a Netflix member sign up for Netflix and start enjoying immediately with our one-month free trial,” the app description published in the store reads.

Of course, the app works on both desktops and tablets running Microsoft’s new OS, so you can download Netflix for Windows 8 even if you plan to install it on a Surface RT.
