Apple is gearing up to make a big splash in the gaming world. They’re working on a new app that’ll bring all your gaming needs to one place. It’s like a central hub for games on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
This new app might just be the star of the show at the upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference. According to Bloomberg, it’ll replace the current Game Center and work seamlessly with the new iOS 19, iPadOS 19, and macOS 16 updates.
Here’s what you can expect:
- A dedicated gaming app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
- Integration with the App Store’s games section
- Editorial content, leaderboards, achievements, and rewards
- A bridge to promote Apple Arcade subscriptions
The app will also be available on Apple TV, making it a one-stop shop for all your gaming needs across devices. After the updates roll out, the new app will come pre-installed on compatible devices.
Apple’s been trying to make a name for itself in the gaming world. They’ve made big strides with games like “Assassin’s Creed Mirage” and “Resident Evil 4 Remake” on iPhone. They’re also working to make it easier to port Windows games to Mac.
But despite these efforts, Apple still hasn’t gotten the recognition it wants from studios, distributors, and gamers. This new app is their chance to change that. It’s a big step towards making their platforms a go-to destination for gaming.
The app will be a game-changer for Mac gamers, too. It’ll act as a launcher for games downloaded outside the App Store, giving users more freedom to play what they want.
We’ve heard rumors about this project before, but now it’s looking like it’s finally happening. The WWDC 2025 is the perfect time to unveil this new app and show the world what Apple’s been working on.
