I’ve reported on Apple’s gaming efforts for the past few years and have been impressed by the company’s slow but steady growth in this field. While many big-name “blockbuster” titles like Cyberpunk 2077 or Elden Ring aren’t available on Apple devices, companies like Capcom and Ubisoft (among others) have dropped some of their latest games on the best MacBooks, best iPhones and best iPads. It’s something I never would have thought possible less than five years ago.
During a recent event, Apple showed me what it’s been up to in the gaming space — most of which you might have already seen during the latest WWDC event. I tried out some upcoming games and learned about new gaming-specific features. Though none of this will put Apple gaming on par with PC gaming in the immediate future, it’s clear that the Cupertino-based tech giant is still taking gaming quite seriously. As a lifelong gamer, I’m intrigued by the current state of Apple gaming and where it can potentially end up before the decade’s end.
