Apple allegedly plans to launch a dedicated gaming app in its ecosystem, which marks its most serious pressure in gaming over the years. It is expected that this app is expected to be pre -installed on iPhones, iPads, Mac and Apple TV later this year, and will work as the central center for games, which includes the Game Center, an app that IOS does not really care about.
According to BloombergApple’s new gaming app will launch games and maintain user activity, achievements, leaderboards, communication and more. It will also include highlights of editorial content and App Store gaming and promote Apple Arcade, which is the company’s 99 6.99/month gaming subscription service. It will even support the third party titles downloaded outside the App Store on Max, which is a very rare move for Apple.
Should Google be upset?

Google has long relied on Android’s open ecosystem to attract gamers and developers, but its own play games app, which will be the nearest competitor to Apple’s construction, is scattered and unorganized.
Consumers report issues with game development, achievements, leaderboards, and more with sports games on mobile and PC. Game publishers also offer their accounts, cloud savings, and social features, which gives play games less important.
These matters may also be very well with Apple’s new gaming app, but if the Capartino company can offer a more compatible and polished experience, Google may have to re -consider its gaming approach.
Google certainly has all the ingredients to compete with Apple.
Google certainly has all the components to compete with Apple, including play games, cloud gaming partnerships, sports expansion library, and the power of Android OEMs permanently building a useable install base for construction of gaming -based hardware. However, its dedicated gaming app currently lacks a fine. If Apple’s new gaming app succeeds, it can put Google to re -imagine Google Play Games.
Meanwhile, Samsung also offers its game hub, but it only helps with the game discovery and stores all installed games in one place. It lacks extra features such as clouds, achievements, etc. Perhaps Samsung depends on how users receive Apple’s new app.
He said, the app’s initial testers are not sure that it will change the effects in a dramatic way right now. According to Bloomberg, he suspects that the new software will suddenly make Apple to see Apple as a major power in the gaming world. The app is expected to be launched with the iPhone lineup in the iOS 19 and September.
