- Apple is developing a new gaming app that’ll function across its ecosystem of products.
- The app is expected to be preinstalled on iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple TVs later this year.
- It’ll rival Google Play Games and will launch games, centralize user activity, record achievements, show leaderboards, enable player communication, and more.
Apple is reportedly planning to launch a dedicated gaming app across its ecosystem, marking its most serious push into gaming in years. The app is expected to be preinstalled on iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple TVs later this year, and will act as a central hub for gamers, replacing Game Center, an app that iOS users didn’t really care for.
