If you're an iPhone gamer there is no shortage of games for you to play. The App Store is full to the brim with great games and Apple Arcade is available for those who would rather pay a monthly fee and have access to a catalog of titles without any ads or in-app purchases. But as great as iPhone gaming has become with the arrival of the iPhone 15 Pro and console-quality games, it still can't quite compete with what consoles can offer. That's where remote play comes in or, if you prefer, cloud gaming.
Until now, services like Xbox Cloud Gaming and Nvidia GeForce Now have been able to offer their wares on the iPhone but only via a web app. That was because Apple wouldn't allow companies like Microsoft and Nvidia to make game streaming apps available via the App Store because they couldn't be properly vetted by App Store review teams. Now, Apple has had a change of heart and while third-party app stores are set to be an EU-only affair, game-streaming apps are coming to the App Store globally.
