So Long, Game Center—Apple’s Unveiling Something Better

So Long, Game Center—Apple’s Unveiling Something Better

Byte-Sized Brief

  • New Apple gaming app to be announced at WWDC.
  • It will replace the current Game Center.
  • The app is coming to iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV.

According to Bloomberg, Apple is prepping a new app focused on video games that will be announced at the Worldwide Developers Conference next week. The app is rumored to be available across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV, and is expected to replace Game Center. It will act as a central hub for accessing games already on the App Store, along with editorial content and activity tracking for things like leaderboards and achievements.

It’s being compared to Microsoft’s Xbox app for iPhone, and there will even be a Mac version that will support games downloaded outside the App Store. The new app will come preinstalled on supported hardware later this year to make it easier for you to launch and organize games in one place.

The Bottom Line

Apple is planning to replace its Game Center with a more robust gaming app that works across its major devices. It will help you find, launch, and track games more easily.
