Whether it is on the user or press side, we are a lot to wait for WWDC 2025. The latter is fast approaching, since it takes place in a few days!
Among the changes announced, the new game application was to mark a turning point in Apple’s Gaming strategy. This app must replace Game Center which has existed since 2010, but which is little used.
Mark Gurman de Bloomberg has just obtained more information on this application, And his verdict is final. According to him, despite the ambitions displayed by the Cupertino firm, The App is likely to disappoint players’ expectations.
A structure too close to the App Store, without innovation?
The analyst tells us that The application interface should strongly resemble that of the App Store. It would be made up of five tabs : Welcome, arcade, play together, library and research. You will therefore find the games available on the App Store and Apple Arcade, but in a dedicated space.
No products found.
The application would essentially be satisfied with grouping already existing features of iOSwithout providing major innovation. Mark Gurman qualifies it as “disappointing”. He doubts that she can really improve Apple’s position in the video game industry, especially in the face of the imminent arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2. The application will be preinstalled on all Apple updated devices to iOS 26, iPados 26, MacOS 26…
Minor changes in a broader ecosystem
The arrival of this new tool dedicated to gaming does not imply the removal of the Games tab of the App Store. Game Center, which was once a full -fledged application before being integrated into the settings in 2016, will be replaced by this new solution.
iOS 26 will also bring other notable new features such as a glass design, the animation of the album cover in full screen on the locked screen, and much more.
The new game application will be unveiled during the WWDC 2025 opening keynote in a few days.
