Pips and Pixels is a column from James Bentley, iMore's resident gaming expert, discussing all things gaming in the Apple ecosystem. Pips and Pixels explores the latest news, accessories, and titles you might have missed out on, and brings you commentary from the leading developers in the app market. As recent advancements in the Apple Silicon M processors and the brand new A17 Bionic chip show, Apple is becoming more serious about gaming. James looks to the rest of the games industry to see what could be next for Apple gamers.

I literally play Apple Arcade for a living. From this column to being iMore’s gaming expert, I need to make sure I know what is going on with Apple gaming every week. Part of that is playing the latest Arcade releases, to see if they’re worth talking about here at Pips and Pixels. Though it’s almost always easy to recommend a game or two every week, I can’t help but stare over with envy at every other gaming subscription on the market, in the hopes we get something similar.
