Apple Games includes sections for games from the App Store, Apple Arcade, and Game Center social features like leaderboards and challenges. Apple notes that the new app is aimed at the more than half a billion players in the company’s ecosystem and is designed to increase engagement and improve interaction with games across all devices.
Apple Games also includes a Play Together section, which features a selection of multiplayer and competitive games. On iPad and Mac, there’s a Game Center Overlay that lets you see your friends’ activity, notifications, and settings while you’re playing — without having to go to the main menu.
The Apple Games app will be available with iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26 Tahoe, which are expected to be released this fall.
