Apple seems to build a dedicated game application, a decision that could allow users to finally use the flagship performance that its high -end offers offer. Bloomberg reported that the autonomous application preinstalls not only on the iPhone, but on the iPad, Mac and even the Apple TV box later this year. Although the new application can solve the long -standing problem of the lack of native game features on the iPhone, it can also mark a strategic change compared to the existing game center, which acts as a centralized center for players through Apple devices.
The dedicated game application, according to the report, will have editorial recommendations for Apple features – similar to those of applications like Apple Music, Apple News and Apple Fitness. But more than that, this application could aim to promote Apple Arcade, which is the company’s subscription service for games available at 99 ₹ per month. The report added that the new application will replace Game Center, which has struggled to take off in the middle of the competition from its Android counterparts before it becomes DUD.
When Apple launched the Arcade subscription service in 2019, he wanted to compete with Google and even more games focused on the game, such as Microsoft and Nintendo. Apple Arcade offers a range of games between the categories for a monthly subscription, but the company had trouble giving its service with more lucrative titles than its rivals. The new dedicated game application could take advantage of the Arcade subscription model to rationalize games on the iPhone and other Apple devices, but its main objective will probably be to offer recommendations and tools that most of the games focused on the game. These tools will be more advanced than those of the Game Center.
According to the report, Apple can also create the application with close integration with other applications. For example, Facetime integration could allow iPhone players to broadcast their gameplay live as Twitch. It can also integrate tools to follow game activities and add social connections like Steam, so that players using iPhones catch their peers using dedicated devices such as the Nintendo Switch or the deck. For full feature, Apple can offer accessories in partnership with third parties to improve experience.
Apple benefits from a bastion on the smartphones market, but its game proposals did not meet expectations despite the offer of high -end equipment in iPhones. By offering a unified game center, Apple seems to aim to extend its influence on the game market, currently estimated at $ 180 billion, improving the gaming experience to attract a wider audience.
