With Apple under scrutiny globally for monopoly allegations and governments demanding the company open up the App Store, Apple’s response might be another App Store—this time focused on gaming.
According to Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman, Apple is launching a gaming app store for the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. This new app will come preinstalled on these devices. With it, Apple will separate everyday apps from games and Apple Arcade content.
Gurman writes that the service will also function as a “launcher for titles and centralize in-game achievements, leaderboards, communications, and other activity,” as Cupertino plans to phase out Game Center.
