Dedicated App Reportedly in the Works

Apple is finally joining the arena of the gaming market, probably… It is being said that they’re making their proprietary gaming app to start a new era for gaming. Not only that, they have acquired their first-ever game studio, which will create games for the platform.

While Apple Arcade exists as an option, Apple may be entering gaming in a way other than a subscription-based app. Moreover, Apple is particularly known for limiting its ecosystem to third-party developers, which makes it look like a greedy corporate move.

Apple is bracing itself to reveal a dedicated app that will allow video games on its platform. For instance, they already have a porting tool that lets developers create games supported within the Apple ecosystem, which includes Mac, iPhone, and iPad. However, it is still limited and doesn’t allow for the addition of various popular IPs.

According to Bloomberg’s

Play. It is also said that the new app will be preinstalled on all Apple-made devices except for the Apple TV set-top box. But why release a new app while Apple Arcade already exists?

Here’s the thing: Apple is trying to create its own ecosystem for gaming. It is said that the app will act as a launcher for games, showing achievements, and more. Basically, they are trying to make Apple’s own version of Epic Games or Steam.

The supposed app will integrate Apple’s existing services, such as Apple Arcade and Game Center. The feature will likely be introduced on June 9 at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, which is right after Nintendo’s Switch 2 launch, which is scheduled for June 4, 2025.

Not only that, to kick off their gaming ecosystem, they’ve even

their own first-party studio, RAC7. The two-person studio that has created Sneaky Sasquatch, which is leading in Apple Arcade. This could be the beginning of Apple’s own exclusive games, and further increase the console war.

There are ******* things at play with this seemingly innocent app

It is already known that Apple and Epic Games had a rigorous legal battle, where Epic Games accused Apple of violating antitrust laws. It was said that Apple doesn’t allow for fair competition on its platform, as it didn’t let Epic Games release Fortnite. It has been dealt with now, but there’s an underlying issue.

Since Apple will have its own marketplace and game launcher, it can simply ask third-party developers to release their games via its store. Thus, it can charge commission and make them dance with a flick of a finger. They probably learnt about the loophole in their system and used the new app to charge people, which they couldn’t do with Epic Games.

Additionally, acquiring game studios means they want to keep their creations exclusive to the Apple ecosystem. This means that if they release a multiplayer game, it can only be enjoyed by users with Apple-based products. Thus, they are forcing consumers to buy Apple products so that they can keep enjoying the ecosystem.

Moreover, they’ll be using the new app to promote Apple Arcade, which is priced at $6.99 monthly. So, they can create something similar to Xbox Game Pass, but it’s in the Apple ecosystem. So yes, it is just another predatory move from Apple, and consumers are just being used. Will it work out? Only time can tell.

Do you think Apple will be using the new app to allow for third-party games? What are your thoughts on the new app they are planning to launch? Let us know in the comments below.
