Apple is gearing up to launch an exciting new gaming app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV, set to be unveiled at the upcoming Worldwide Developer Conference. According to Bloomberg, this app will serve as a central hub for your gaming experience—allowing you to easily launch your installed games, view achievements, and track leaderboards all in one place.
Expect to see this innovative gaming app alongside iOS 17 in September, replacing the current Apple Game Center. It will feature fresh editorial content and provide seamless access to games available on the App Store. Last year, 9to5Mac described the app as functioning similarly to the Xbox app for iPhone, offering a familiar and streamlined gaming interface. Additionally, a Mac version will enable users to access games downloaded outside of the App Store, broadening your gaming options.
This announcement comes on the heels of Apple’s recent move into game development, with the company acquiring RAC7, the studio behind popular titles like Sneaky Sasquatch. Confirmed by Apple, RAC7 will continue operating independently, focusing on creating fun and engaging games as part of Apple’s expanding gaming ecosystem.
Get ready for a new era of gaming on Apple devices—making it easier and more enjoyable to discover, play, and share your favorite games!
