- Apple may develop a special gaming app for iOS, macOS and more
- The app will contain things such as performance, leaderboards and messages
- It could be announced at WWDC in June
Years, Apple has tried to convince the world that gaming takes seriously, and with the popularity of iOS gaming and the appearance of AAA titles as Cyberpunk 2077 on macOSThere is some truth in the claim of the company.
In case you needed more convincingly, there is a new rumor of it Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman that Apple soon one special gaming -app in iOS 19 To pursue players to his platforms. As a gamer owner of Mac, I am careful optimistic about the rumors-even if we still need affordable hardware and games before it comes around somewhere of a Windows competitor.
If you have missed the news, the app will apparently “serve as a launcher for titles and centralizes in-game performance, leaderboards, communication and other activities,” said Gurman, adding that it will also contain “editorial content of Apple about new titles, offer access to the section of the Store and Promoten section [Apple] Arcade. “It is expected that it will be unveiled as quickly as possible on iOS, macOS, iPados and TVOS Apple’s WWDC 2025 event on June 9.
The move is logical – the iPhone is after all a phenomenally popular gaming platform and announces a movement like this at WWDC could help to strengthen the popularity of iOS 19 before it is even the door. Apple may also hope that it will seduce more gamers from Windows to the platforms of the Cupertino company – but at the moment I am not completely convinced.
Destination of your choice for gamers
This app may work well at iOS 19, where gaming is often a little more casual Then on desktop computers. But things may look very different on macOS.
As a gamer who also has a Mac, I have been encouraged in recent years by Apple’s steps in the gaming world. It is not nearly near Windows yet, but the situation today is much better than a few years ago.
For a long time the problem was the chicken-and-egg-horse from Mac-Gaming. Gamers did not want to switch to macOS because of the lack of games, and developers did not want to bring games to the Mac due to the lack of players. That starts to change slowly, with large titles like Cyberpunk 2077” Assassin’s Creed ShadowsAnd Baldur’s Gate 3 Help to dispel the idea that the Mac is a gaming wasteland.
However, the impact of a special gaming app will probably be limited. Apart from my claim that gamers give more to hardware and availability of games than launcher apps, Gurman is also skeptical and says that “testers of the software say that it will probably not change the perception of players and makers of high-quality titles.”
Any progress for gaming on the Apple platforms is welcome in my eyes, and this app can help by making gaming more prominent with users of iOS and MacOS. But what is really needed on the Mac-IS a larger number of striking titles and more affordable access to components that offer exceptional gaming performance.
Until that happens, Windows will always be the favorite destination for gamers.
