"That's where the new Apple Games app comes in. The Cupertino-based company has previewed the new feature coming to iOS 26 in a beta. It acts as an all-in-one hub for gaming across the company's devices. It gathers what players are enjoying on the iPhone and Mac from different services (including Steam) and puts it in a space, where they can see, and depending on the device, access it."
"Arcade is for games tied to the Apple Arcade service, which is packed with more than 200 games, and the Library shows players all the titles on a device. It can be titles they purchased on the App Store, free-to-start projects like "Marvel Snap" or even Steam games downloaded on a Mac. Apple organizes and tracks these games, going back years. It also shares save data across devices that support the same games."
The Apple Games app centralizes gaming across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, collecting titles from App Store purchases, free-to-start games, Apple Arcade, and third-party sources like Steam. The app is organized into Home, Arcade, Play Together, Library and Search tabs. Library tracks and organizes games across devices and shares save data where supported. Search filters by name, genre, and control scheme. Play Together displays friends' activity, leaderboards, achievements, and challenges, and can turn single-player games into competitive or cooperative experiences. Apple Arcade section highlights over 200 subscription titles and the app aims to make gaming collections more discoverable and social.
