Tablets are quickly becoming great gaming devices, and the new iPad Pro will benefit from that.
Mobile gaming might be rising like a rocket but tablet gaming isn’t far behind, with the big screen endemic of the gadget being really great for plenty of titles. Apple’s got a new iPad Pro on the way – we’re expecting it on April 20 – and judging by its predecessors it’s likely to be the company’s most powerful slate to date, and every bit as large as the iPad Pro 2020. The new iPad Pro is coming at a perfect time, as even since the 2020 iPad Pro launched about a year ago, gaming on tablets has become something much bigger and better than it was. There are many new console-quality games and popular services to choose from, so tablet gamers will be in luck. Gaming subscription services are one of the best repositories of new titles for mobile gamers – Android tablet users get Google’s Play Pass, and the new iPad Pro will get access to Apple Arcade. Sure, Apple Arcade was around in March 2020 when the last Pro-tier iPad came out, as the service launched in 2019. But it came out with 60 titles, and has now expanded to a substantial 180, with the quality of available content arguably being higher now too. Apple Arcade has quite a few action and puzzle games, and is mostly designed for iPhone users – we’ve previously complained about the lack of iPad-centric titles – but there are a number of games that work well on bigger displays.
