Summary
At its annual conference, Apple revealed a brand-new app that consolidates iOS gaming into one platform, rather than spreading out functionalities across Game Centre and the App Store.
The new ‘Games’ app offers several functionalities, including a ‘Play Together’ tab, allowing users to see what games their friends are playing on iOS, and to create challenges for single-player games to turn them into competitions between friends.
The app works in both portrait and landscape modes, and can be navigated using a controller.
Other functionalities include updates on games, timer-sensitive in-game events, and recommendations for new games to play.
The new ‘Games’ app will be available on iOS 16, which is set for release later this year.
