Apple is planning to unveil a dedicated gaming app at the WWDC 2025, serving as a launcher for games from the App Store and Apple Arcade.
The new gaming app might include features like in-game achievements, leaderboards, and will have the ability to tap into games downloaded outside of the App Store.
Apple's recent acquisition of RAC7 studio suggests potential in-house game development, but the focus remains on improving gaming compatibility on Mac devices.
To enhance gaming on macOS, Apple could benefit from developing a compatibility layer similar to Valve's Proton platform to attract more game developers and players.
